Phishing attempts started with hackers stealing user passwords and creating random credit card numbers. While lucky hits were few and far between, they made enough money to cause a lot of damage and to keep doing what they were doing. They would open bogus AOL accounts with the random credit card numbers and use those accounts to spam users. AOHell was a Windows application that made this process more automated, released in 1995. AOL put security measures to prevent this practice, shutting down AOHell later in the year.
In January 2014, the Seculert Research Lab identified a new targeted attack that used Xtreme RAT (Remote Access Toolkit). Spear phishing emails targeted Israeli organizations to deploy the advanced malware. 15 machines were compromised - including those belonging to the Civil Administration of Judea and Samaria.In August 2014, iCloud leaked almost 500 private celebrity photos, many containing nudity. It was discovered during the investigation that Ryan Collins accomplished this phishing attack by sending emails to the victims that looked like legitimate Apple and Google warnings, alerting the victims that their accounts may have been compromised and asking for their account details. The victims would enter their password, and Collins gained access to their accounts, downloading emails and iCloud backups.In September 2014, Home Depot suffered a massive breach, with the personal and credit card data of 100+million shoppers posted for sale on hacking websites.In November 2014, ICANN employees became victims of spear phishing attacks, and its DNS zone administration system was compromised, allowing the attackers to get zone files and personal data about users in the system, such as their real names, contact information, and salted hashes of their passwords. Using these stolen credentials, the hackers tunneled into ICANN's network and compromised the Centralized Zone Data System (CZDS), their Whois portal and more.
Beyond Good And Evil ISO Game Hack Password
Fancy Bear launched a spear phishing campaign against email addresses associated with the Democratic National Committee in the first quarter of 2016. The hackers were quiet on April 15, which in Russia happens to be a holiday honoring their military's electronic warfare services. Cozy Bear also had activity in the DNC's servers around the same time. The two groups seemed to be unaware of each other, as each separately stole the same passwords, essentially duplicating their efforts. Cozy Bear appears to be a separate agency more interested in traditional long-term espionage.
A sextortion phishing campaign seen in July 2018 was the first to use recipient's actual hacked passwords in the emails to convince people that the hacking threat is real. Given the sheer volume of hacked and stolen personal data now available online, this is a big threat to watch out for in 2018.
Keyloggers refer to the malware used to identify inputs from the keyboard. The information is sent to the hackers who will decipher passwords and other types of information. To prevent key loggers from accessing personal information, secure websites provide options to use mouse clicks to make entries through the virtual keyboard.
Season 3 became this high octane combination of season 1 and 2. We stood and watched as we got hacks, evil antagonists with master plans, all the tears, and most importantly, we got deeper into the psychology of Elliot Alderson. As Elliot hacked his way through season 3, we learned more and more about who this Elliot guy really was.
Also note that in some places where any type of non-permanent crypto stuff values are metioned (machine account passwords, hashes, etc.), there can be mismatches between the actual values of this crypto stuff. The Hades Endgame was being reset very often so some of these non-permanent secrets were being changed every time the lab started from its factory default state.
2FA or MFA does not really matter when it comes to password database security as long as the design is the 2nd factor secret is independent of the cryptographic key mixture. All it requires is capturing the decryption keep and it is game over. The 2nd or nth factor only serves to further authenticate but the main point is capturing the cryptographic key is the main goal. In the context of a network password manager, it opens a lot more questions and doubts than offline password managers.
Ease of use can be improved by GUI designs and user interaction and portability of solutions can be done with portable offline devices in your own control. A less tech savy person carry a portable executable of an offline password manager with good GUI design to ease usage.
There are other tricks you can do but they all work on you having control of the input data and some how modifing it beyond the attackers ability to determin and make corrective control. Thus the advantage in the game moves from the attacker to the defender.
