Researchers Uncover Ways to Break the Encryption of ‘MEGA’ Cloud Storage Service

A new piece of research from academics at ETH Zurich has identified a number of critical security issues in the MEGA cloud storage service that could be leveraged to break the confidentiality and integrity of user data.
In a paper titled “MEGA: Malleable Encryption Goes Awry,” the researchers point out how MEGA’s system does not protect its users against a malicious server, thereby enabling a
