Here’s the thing tho’, BA’s website exists solely to provide information on and sell their own services. Why is there third-party anything on it in the first place? Fix that and you’ll fix everything, well almost.
Disclaimer: worked on ba.com in the ‘90’s
- invalidusernam3 8y agoI would guess third party payment gateway and tracking/analytics. It's doubtful that BA would undertake the task of creating bespoke systems for either of those
- robjan 8y agoIt's not a third party script. It's a copy of modernizr hosted on their own server. Someone has either hacked their CMS (Teamsite) or it's an insider.
- PunchTornado 8y agoI love it how big companies still use legacy CMS like Teamsite thinking it is too expensive to move to something modern.
- ams6110 8y agoIf you have a large customer-facing website retail website, redoing the whole thing in something "modern" (which will only be "modern" for a year or so) is actually very expensive. Have you ever migrated a non-trivial website from one platform to another?
- gaius 8y agoUhh, yeah, it wasn’t such a bad choice 20 years ago. I had no idea they were still using it lol. Interwoven we called it back then.
- ID1452319 8y agoHow can you tell it is Teamsite?

- darkport 8y agoHow do you know they use TeamSite? A similar hack occurred against TicketMaster. I wonder if they use TeamSite as well. Maybe a 0day?
