This morning, a friend of mine forwarded me an article posted on Securosis yesterday. This article highlights an attack on RSA which resulted in data loss and they're saying that SecureID customers may be at risk.
As far as I'm aware, the Blizzard Authenticator operates using RSA tokens. While I doubt any group with the sophistication necessary to pull off a successful APT attack on RSA would be interested in World of Warcraft accounts, I do have my concerns that the people responsible may publish their findings and the keys generated by our authenticators may become useless.
I realize it's still early in this whole deal and that even RSA doesn't know exactly what happened or what all was even compromised. I just wanted to share my concern.
I didn't want to link directly to any articles, but you can find any information on this you want with some basic web searches.
Pokzin,
The Blizzard Authenticators are based off modified Vasco tokens. I'm sorry to hear about RSA's troubles, but it will not affect the Blizzard Authenticator. ________________________________________________ Technical Support Want to speak with someone directly? http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/company/about/contact.html How's my driving? https://www.surveymk.com/s/R5D3LCF |
