Password Managers Clickjacked: When Security Gets a Humorous Makeover
Popular password managers have been hit by clickjacking vulnerabilities, leaving your passwords feeling more exposed than a celebrity’s leaked selfie. Known as DOM-based extension clickjacking, this flaw lets attackers steal account credentials, 2FA codes, and credit card details. Thankfully, fixes have been rolled out, saving us from online pandemonium.
Hot Take:
Well, folks, it’s official: cybersecurity is the world’s most dramatic soap opera, complete with plot twists, backstabbing, and a few surprise guest stars from North Korea and Russia. It’s like a James Bond movie, but instead of suave spies, we have hackers with code names that sound like rejected Marvel villains. The latest villainy? Clickjacking attacks on password managers. This is why we can’t have nice things, like easily remembered passwords or a sense of security!
Key Points:
- Popular password managers have been hit by clickjacking vulnerabilities.
- Russian hackers target a seven-year-old Cisco flaw; nothing ages like fine wine and unpatched vulnerabilities.
- Apple patches a zero-day exploit actively used in the wild; the tech giant continues its whack-a-mole game with hackers.
- Interpol arrests over 1,200 cybercriminals in Africa; apparently, crime doesn’t pay, especially when Interpol is involved.
- A 20-year-old hacker gets 10 years in jail for cybercrime; that’s practically a lifetime when your career started in a basement.
