It was reported that a group called Team Prosecco hacked that little RSA token that has been a stalwart in enterprise security. This article in the New York Times reveals:
RSA Token
“Cryptography breaks very slowly. It’s the molasses of computer science,” said the security researcher Dan Kaminsky. “There are many technologies we abstractly know are problematic and we prioritize fixing them less than things that are obviously on fire.”
It was also noted that the RSA token took the shortest at 13 minutes. Others by Siemens and Gemalto took longer with Gemalto taking 92 minutes. RSA said they are looking into it but have not confirmed the breach. This comes on the heels of a March 2011 announcement and a reported breach by Lockheed Martin. It goes without mention that CISO’s and the security community are keeping a close eye on this crypto-breach.
