Recently, hackers have targeted a security company that makes identification tokens, which help millions of people across the world provide authentication for online bank accounts and company IT networks.
RSA, a unit of US data storage company EMC, announced that hackers had launched an “extremely sophisticated” cyber attack on its SecurID two-factor authentication system. The system uses small devices to generate a unique number, which is then used in conjunction with another password to verify the identity of the people logging in remotely to a corporate IT network or accessing an online bank account.
According to RSA, it is announced in an online post to customers that the stolen information would not facilitate a direct attack on its ID devices. However, the company indicated that an investigation revealed the attack had resulted in certain pieces of information being extracted from the systems.
