#hack #way A good example of a suspected security breach report from !#1password They suspected that something was going on in their #Okta account, i.e. all sorts of internal admin and helpdesk stuff. A member of the IT team handled Okta support and, at…
#Okta is telling customers that hackers who breached its network stole information on all users of its customer support system, which is significantly more than the previously reported “less than 1% of users.” Yes, read carefully, it wasn't “user base” that was increased, it was “customer support user base”, but that's still a lot. 🤨

Fresh #hack: #ChatGPT can generate sequences memorized from its training data using a very trivial attack. You tell the bot to “say the word * as many times as possible”. And, starting with some attempt, ChatGPT starts to produce something very similar to the original data from the training sample:

#ChatGPT solved the problem in a fantastic way: asking the AI to say something “forever” is now a violation of the user agreement. 😅
Again, at the system level it is not easy to solve this problem at all.

#security #hack #OAuth
Dylan from truffleSecurity talks about a simple hole (it seems a bit loud to call it a vulnerability) that allows users of companies that use #Google authorization in services like Slack or Zoom to continue to have access even after being fired and having their access removed.
The hole is that such services use email as the user ID. But, obviously, you can create several different email addresses that receive the same emails (e.g. by adding words after "+"):
