dhs-predicts-more-brokerage-attacks
Posted by: admin 15 years, 3 months ago
The DHS is joining in on one of my earlier predictions: Brokerage accounts will be increasing targeted in the coming year. According to their post they are tempting accounts because they typically have more money in them. Further, typical anti-fraud transaction analysis doesn't really work because of the infrequency of transfers.
I'm convinced that brokerage accounts and other heavy transactions accounts will need cryptographically secure transaction authentication in addition to session and host/mutual authentication.

Anton Chuvakin posts a response to this post about the PayPal tokens. These posts point out a number of desired features for broad-based consumer roll-out of two-factor authentication, such as the hope for a single token to work everywhere. but fail to mention that token won't stop phishing (one of the commenters does point that out).

Once again, Amit Klein has hacked DNS. Once again, we'll say if you are doing high-value web-based transactions, you should consider using Mutual Authentication for HTTPS.
