Password Managers: A Work in Progress Despite Popularity

The end of 2022 saw LastPass report another security incident, and as we mark a day to change passwords, Dan Raywood asks if another piece of cybersecurity software had suffered so many security incidents, would users have given up on it by now? At the end of 2022, authentication vendor LastPass notified users and the wider world of a  security incident where 'an unauthorized party gained access to a third-party cloud-based storage service, which LastPass uses to store archived backups of .. production data.' The incident created headlines worldwide, including from Wired, which was heavily critical of LastPass's actions - or, to be

FBI hacked. Not once, but twice.

First, the FBI-run InfraGard program suffered a breach. InfraGard aims to strengthen partnerships with the private sector to share information about cyber and physical threats.

Then, the Russian hacker group, Killnet, breached the FBI’s database and stealing the personal information of over 10,000 U.S. federal agents.

@jerry @pauliehedron All good. Shouldn't be an issue in my experience. The resolving server should have tried the next record (dino). Not sure why there is a resolution error for so many right now, but updating the Authority records to only include dino may be the only thing I could see interfering with resolution. the 1 hour TTL should only apply to records that are successfully retrieved, so the caching rules for a missing or error result are per-resolver

Interesting. I didn't think that a failed server result should be cached, so if it is down to a single instance, the retry resolution should have worked. DNS is fickle, but this should just failover gracefully.
