Entry Point of JPMorgan Data Breach Is Identified
- tlrobinson 12y ago"Two people briefed on the matter said that an N.S.A. special team will sometimes work with a corporate victim of hackers to ensure that no trap doors remain." Well, no NSA backdoors, at least.
- orangechicken 12y agoI think you mean "no non-NSA backdoors, at least."
- tlrobinson 12y agoOops, of course, yes that's what I meant.
- brohoolio 12y agoOne server without two factor got them owned? Makes you wonder what else was going on. Did they have ssh keys or something that got them further into the network?
- trentnelson 12y agoThat just got them onto a box within the network. That's the biggest hurdle. Once you're inside, you could start poking around for weaknesses and exploit whatever you find.
- xedarius 12y agoUsually access to banks networks are guarded with an RSA fob + password. It's unclear from the article if JP use that system or not.
- mevodig 12y agoIt's actually mentioned in the 4th paragraph that they do use a 2FA system.
- jdawg77 12y agoThe most advanced, at least in terms of haptic based cryptography, is owned by Bank of America in the US. When reading through the USPTO, I didn't see anything revolutionary owned by JPMorgan. To me the awesome news here is that while the leak happened, it's accountable 100%. That's very swift closure compared to many, many other data breaches of the past.
- msimpson 12y ago"Big corporations like JPMorgan spend millions — $250 million in the bank’s case — on computer security every year to guard against increasingly sophisticated attacks like the one on Sony Pictures." Yes, sophisticated attacks like finding a passwords.txt file.
