GitHub Prepares to Move Beyond Passwords

GitHub, the ubiquitous host for software development and version control and unfortunate target of a steady pitter-patter of attacks targeting the same, is now supporting security keys when using Git over SSH. In a post on Monday, GitHub security engineer Kevin Jones said that this is the next st...

A week in security (January 11 – January 17)

Last week on Malwarebytes Labs, we looked at IoT problems, Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday, and how cybercriminals want access to your cloud services. We also explored how VPNs can protect your privacy, and asked if MSPs have picked the right PSA. Other cybersecurity news Hot phishing targets: Some...

Cloning Google Titan 2FA keys

This is a clever side-channel attack: The cloning works by using a hot air gun and a scalpel to remove the plastic key casing and expose the NXP A700X chip, which acts as a secure element that stores the cryptographic secrets. Next, an attacker connects the chip to hardware and software that take...

Cloning Google’s Titan Key to bypass 2FA – Research

By Sudais Asif The attack requires the attacker to have physical access to the victim's Titan Key, hours of time, and side-channel setup equipment worth €10,000 $12,000 - £9,000. This is a post from HackRead.com Read the original post: Cloning Googles Titan Key to bypass 2FA - Research...

New Attack Could Let Hackers Clone Your Google Titan 2FA Security Keys

Hardware security keys—such as those from Google and Yubico—are considered the most secure means to protect accounts from phishing and takeover attacks. But a new research published on Thursday demonstrates how an adversary in possession of such a two-factor authentication 2FA device can clone it...
