Password Panic: Clickjacking Chaos Hits Major Managers!
Six major password managers are vulnerable to clickjacking, allowing attackers to steal sensitive data with a little sleight of hand. Victims think they’re clicking harmless elements, but they’re actually triggering autofill actions. Until fixes roll out, users should disable autofill and embrace the ancient art of copy/paste.
Hot Take:
Who knew your password manager could turn into a password mis-manager? It’s like leaving your wallet wide open in a room full of cyber-pickpockets! If you’re a fan of autofill, it might be time to become a fan of manual typing—your passwords will thank you. Remember, it’s not paranoia if they’re really out to get you!
Key Points:
- Six major password managers are vulnerable to unpatched clickjacking flaws.
- Attackers exploit these flaws through malicious pages or compromised websites.
- The vulnerabilities were revealed at DEF CON 33 by researcher Marek Tóth.
- Some vendors have acknowledged the issues but downplayed their severity.
- Users are advised to disable the autofill function until patches are available.
