Rentec Direct Announces and Assures its Subscribers That it is Safe From the Shellshock Bash Bug
Grants Pass, OR (PRWEB) October 08, 2014 -- Rentec Direct Property Management Software does not use any bash scripting and is therefore not impacted by the Shellshock Bash bug. Rentec takes pride in ensuring that data is safe and well protected against attacks such as the most recent attack. So, What is the Shellshock Bash bug and is data stored with Rentec safe? You may or may not have heard on the news or from a friend that the internet is exposed to another rather nasty exploit called the Shellshock Bash bug. This particular bug affects linux/unix based systems that have a program called "bash" on them, which most do. Theoretically, a remote attacker can gain access to a system which has programming written within this bash scripting language.
GOOD NEWS! Rentec does not use any bash scripting, and keep a diligent eye on security to ensure all data is protected. Rentec has went above and beyond as usual and has already patched all servers with a version of bash which is immune to this attack which indicates that Rentec Direct is far ahead of the curve in patching vulnerabilities that can affect data storage.
When asked why Rentec Direct puts so much effort into customer service and keeping there software secure? Nathan Miller, President of Rentec Direct replied, “It is all about making sure our product is top notch and our customers are always happy."
