The article states that there is a big problem, but the solution it gives only incrementally improves the situation.
If passwords stored in plaintext is a problem, don’t just use slightly harder to access storage. Use SSO so there are not credentials to steal.
If the article gave a complete picture of what to do to mitigate the damage of endpoint compromise or was less alarmist in its assessment of risk, I would have liked it better.
- MattPalmer1086 4y agoThat's a fair assessment of the article I think. It's a genuine threat, and one we have had to deal with in a small way before. Most of the criticism I've read here seems to be dismissing the threat entirely, using the weak "if that happened you've got bigger problems" argument.
