Disclosure: I work at EMC.
It's sad to see that the most detail of the attack we employees of EMC have seen comes from an outside source. The infiltration clearly began by targeting EMC employee(s) not RSA. It's been many months since the attack with nothing being told to the employees whatsoever. I've even heard additional stories about other attempts at social engineering to gain more information recently.
I'll answer questions that I can if anyone is interested but as mentioned above, we really aren't informed ourselves.
To address your first point: I was under the impression seeds were stored for most(all?) customers for "bakcup" purposes. These were taken and matched against SecureID serials for use in more social engineering attacks (getting the other part of the two-factor auth).
- count 15y agoAre they still storing 'backup' seeds? Because to me, that sounds like a pretty huge target at this point.
- emcemployee 15y agoI cannot say for a certainty that they aren't as I'm not privy to that information. I'd hope with the new tokens released the backup of the information should rely on the owners infrastructure. RSA has been put on a secluded network away from EMC network.
