    Hackers Stole Access Tokens from Okta’s Support Unit

    Article doesn't seem to indicate the Okta Verify Authenticator app is impacted. Periodically as I go to various financial/health care/etc websites I have noticed a very quick redirect through an okta url. Seems that some businesses I frequent use okta to authenticate my session, if I...

    Hackers Stole Access Tokens from Okta’s Support Unit

    https://krebsonsecurity.com/2023/10/hackers-stole-access-tokens-from-oktas-support-unit/ Addendum 10/22/2023: Looks like it wasn't even Okta that discovered the breach. One of their customers found the breach which had been leveraged to attempt a breach of their own information system...

    Freeware to identify fake USB drives

    Bravo to you @L&LD! I was looking to post that information but you beat me to it. :p What I did do in addition is to go to all the links in the ValiDrive page to Amazon and blabbed via the [Report incorrect product information.] on every single device. Some are no longer in stock and others...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.11 is now available for AC models

    There might be better/more secure/up to date alternatives since that particular project may be abandoned. EDIT: I misunderstood what you were saying. You are thinking of moving TO Merlin 386.xx. I should remind myself of the context of this particular thread. Nevermind, that's a good...

    How To Block Top-Level Domains?

    Yeah, Steve Gibson on his Security Now podcast agrees with you. my list now shows: address=/zip/mov/foo/nexus/dad/phd/prof/esq/boo/rsvp/page/new/app/day/dev/club/icu/store/top/xyz/# INSERT: @ColinTaylor added that omitting the "#" would result in lookups returning an NXDOMAIN rather than...

    How To Block Top-Level Domains?

    Great thread. Also had heard about Google adding several TLD's including .zip and .mov. Tried the methods shown above. After confirming I had access to cardgames.io added [address=/zip/mov/io/#] to [nano] /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add, rebooted and tried cardgames.io again... no...

    New Threats to Asus Routers, few details.

    https://www.snbforums.com/threads/logging-into-ssh-how-to-set-up-use-authorized-keys-feature.70260/ A few years ago, I wanted to experiment and set up authorized keys (which I have been running for years). Doing a search back then on snbforums there wasn't enough specific information on how...

    Skynet Skynet - Simple way to ban all countries?

    38496 IPs (+0) -- 86616 Ranges Banned (+0) || 12260 Inbound -- 28 Outbound Connections Blocked! One way you can tell if country IP ranges are being banned is by starting with a shorter list and see on the skynet UI how many "Ranges [are] Banned". At the point which word wrap fails note the...

    NordVPN--Couldn't establish a secure connection... internet traffic intercepted?

    Saw that message today again on my computer from NordVPN also referring to the same SHA-1 fingerprint/thumbprint from google. Like you are referring to above, maybe google is removing/installing certificates and NordVPN is just notifying/warning me that some certificates have/are being changed.

    NordVPN--Couldn't establish a secure connection... internet traffic intercepted?

    Maybe just a random oddity like you said. I opted for the [Don't Trust] command button and everything seemed to still be working ok/normally. I was on my Windows 10 desktop.

    NordVPN--Couldn't establish a secure connection... internet traffic intercepted?

    I am using the app. NordVPN v. 7.8.4.0 The app does show GREEN i.e. connected. When I go to dnsleaktest.com it does show an ip address that is not my own. I did block out the thumbprint (dunno if that was really necessary to do that--maybe better to show it?) will try and google the...
