The difference between 2F & MFA, how 2FA (which many people use as a catch-all for security measures including MFA) can be compromised, and what to look out for to protect yourself.
Why you need to activate Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) immediately: https://open.substack.com/pub/nelsonlopesen/p/why-you-need-to-activate-multi-factor?r=47z5b9&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

Security is hard.
The TL;DR is: Do not lose possesion of your private key.
Addendum: This is from a year ago to be clear. But, there are many people that have older Yubikeys that Can Not be fixed.
The attack requires physical access to the secure element (few local electromagnetic side-channel acquisitions, i.e. few minutes, are enough) in order to extract the ECDSA secret key. In the case of the FIDO protocol, this allows to create a clone of the FIDO device.
All YubiKey 5 Series (with firmware version below 5.7) are impacted by the attack and in fact all Infineon security microcontrollers (including TPMs) that run the Infineon cryptographic library (as far as we know, any existing version) are vulnerable to the attack.

Download the Writeup Illustration Romain Flamand – Flamingo Studio – flamandromain@gmail.com Abstract Secure elements are small microcontrollers whose main purpose is to generate/store secrets and then execute cryptographic operations. They undergo the highest level of security evaluations that exists (Common Criteria) and are often considered inviolable, even in the worst-case attack scenarios. Hence, complex secure […]
Software packages with more than 2 billion weekly downloads hit in supply-chain #attack
The attack, which compromised nearly two dozen packages hosted on the #npm repository, came to public notice on Monday in social media posts. Around the same time, … said he had been “pwned” after falling for an email that claimed his account on the platform would be closed unless he logged into a site and updated his two-factor #authentication #credentials.

„Tak, zhakowali mnie, przepraszam” – czyli „największy” atak na łańcuch dostaw (z phishingiem w tle) – straty wyceniono na $20.05
Przedstawiamy atak na łańcuch dostaw, który miał wstrząsnąć światem, ale na szczęście stał się tylko bolesnym przypominieniem, jak dużo trzeba jeszcze zrobić w kontekście bezpieczeństwa zależności.
