  1. Scotland's Scattered Spider Affiliate Pleads Guilty in US Cryptocurrency Heist

    A Scottish affiliate of the notorious Scattered Spider cybercrime crew has pleaded guilty in the US to stealing at least $8 million in cryptocurrency through a cunning phishing and SIM-swap scheme. This guilty plea raises a pressing question: what can $8 million buy in the shadowy world of digital theft?

  2. You can keep a separate phone number for situations where you don't fully trust the other party. Your real number is the recovery key for your bank account and receives your verification codes for Gmail, your power company, your investment platform. Sharing it everywhere is an unnecessary attack surface. (1/2)

  3. A man had $21,000 taken from his bank.
    This is how I protect myself.
    1. Don't use SMS 2 factor authentication.
    2. Use password protected 2FA app Aegis
    3. My authorization app is not on my phone it's on a tablet or old phone that has no cell service.
    If someone sim swaps me it will NOT give them access to my bank account.
    4. I have my phone service locked with a SIM pin. #Security #simswap

  8. Zwakke 2FA/MFA werkt AVERECHTS

    In security.nl/posting/912441/65- schreef ik eerder deze week:

    2FA (MFA) is ruk.

    Laat de overheid een wachtwoordmanager adviseren die wél op domeinnamen checkt.

    (Dat laatste kan standaard onder Android, iOS en iPadOS - middels "AutoFill").

    Op veler "verzoek" onderbouwde ik die stelling (niet voor de eerste keer) in security.nl/posting/912441/65-.

    En in security.nl/posting/912441/65- legde ik uit waarom online inloggen *lastig* veilig te krijgen is - wat je ook verzint (het blijven shared secrets).

    Vandaag heb ik Microsoft Authenticator ook maar weer eens getest (onder Android). Mijn bevindingen leest u in (de tweede helft van) security.nl/posting/912441/65- - hieronder een stukje daaruit.
