How this attack worked initially (According to news and Twitter):




You all are thinking that how the attacker bypassed the MFA? 

An extremely common misconception people have with standard forms of MFA (push/touch/mobile) is that it prevents social engineering. Although MFA can protect against an attacker who only has the victim's credentials, it is commonly still vulnerable to MiTM attacks.

Check the analysis of the Uber attack, he has explained it clearly

Some mitigation to avoid these hacks:
  • Regular phishing awareness should be done in the organization.
  • Single credentials should not be used for accessing all services. Change to certificate-based authentication.
  • Shared drives and other internal drives should be checked regularly for sensitive information like usernames, passwords, and PII data. The sensitive data should be stored in the Vault.
  • Minimize the services access within the organization. Only provide access to the user which is required.

"Phishing awareness is most important because humans are more vulnerable than machines and software."

Wishing their blue teams the best of luck and love during this difficult period.

Nowadays we start using many technology devices in our homes. Many people are installing CCTV or security cameras in their houses, private rooms, offices, private places, etc for security purposes and monitoring, but many of them don't know how to configure that device securely. So let's talk about CCTV and security cameras only.  What do most CCTV/Security camera users believe? Most users believe that using a strong username and password on a camera administrative page protects them. (Partially true in the case of online cameras) Example: Why it is partially true? It's partially true because you are protecting only the camera administrative page which is also an important part. Still, you are not protecting the protocol used to control streaming media servers (Real-Time Streaming Protocol ( RTSP )). I have seen many online webcams whose administrative page is secured by strong credentials, but they forget to secure the RTSP protocol which gives me access to the streaming ...
