that's a pretty cool find, or rather a pretty stupid bit of engineering on apples part. just privilege escalation though, so not too terrifying in practice.

lol nice

so coming back to this thread somewhat hat in hand, it seems the security fuckup is me, although in the most hosed-up way possible

a backdoor was installed on my pc and someone

1. logged in remotely while i wasn't in front of my desktop
2. appears to have been keylogging, so they had my 1password credentials :stonk:

where things get extra-hosed is that i just so happened to be screen capturing at the time, so i have a video recording of this l33t h4x0r d00d trying and sort-of failing to Paypal money to himself from my account, as well as buy two 50-Euro Steam cards (I'm working on getting these reversed, luckily he gave up waiting before the transactions were approved, and for the level of access that the hacker had, they had a very poor plan of attack, it could have been so much worse than it was)

so in the process of resetting passwords galore including my 1password secret and master keys i found out paypal has 2fa which i didn't know before, so that's activated now, although once all this poo poo gets settled i'm going to bail on using paypal if i can help it, and it's also made me super-paranoid about how i have things setup since "person has seen what you do on your pc including keystrokes for a while" is some scary poo poo

:stare: Dude, that sucks. What did he install to do so?

So I got the Windows Sandbox installed on my machine, and have been playing with using it as a Cuckoo guest. Unfortunately, by design the Windows Sandbox does not persist files, on purpose of course, but it would mean if I wanted to use it for forensics, I'd have to reinstall Cuckoo every session.

Probably stick with HyperV for now, but I do like it, and that Defender is going to use the sandbox for detonating items.

the hacking software getting on my pc was definitely my fuckup, i was trying to get a clean version of a drmed video i owned from a really niche digital distributor that's shutting down. what i installed to attempt to circumvent it had the payload inside, and slipped past mse (i was running windows 7, although after the scare i reinstalled to the latest windows 10)

but it made me think how it easily could have been a browser payload or found some way of getting on innocuously

i didn't even know what happened until i checked my screen recording video and scrubbed around to see why my browser window was now suddenly open, seeing them enter my 1password successfully was quite scary

i'm lucky that i had an exact play-by-play of what they did on my pc so i knew who i had to reach out to

Here's what I did to try and avoid similar issues going forward (on top of the obvious, don't download anything that has a potential for sketchiness)

- I split everything that can touch money off of my main online 1password account. This is now only accessible via a file-based 1password vault that I'm intentionally not loading on any device I ever walk away from while it's still on, and don't visit those sites from those devices either (if i ever do in a fit of desperation I sign out from them; would be good for Chrome to let you set a timebomb on cookies for specific sites to automate this)

- I memorized the Paypal password instead of having it in any of the 1password vaults.

it does still give me concern about what someone could do if they logged into my computer and started loving around in other ways, like stealing files, deleting email or, worst of all, if they logged into the sa forums as me and started making good posts

This feels like a decent compromise.


univbee posted:

this doesn't. i'd make your paypal password hella loving annoying and keep storing it in your 1pass vault. weakening the password such that you can remember it / type it in manually might solve the "if someone owns my local they get my money" problem, but it opens you up to other sorts of attacks that are more common, imo

I might aim for changing your behavior like you alluded to in the beginning of your post. don't download dumb poo poo from the internet, but if you're going to anyway you can always have a seperate vm for opening that thing. its not foolproof or whatever but it makes more sense than going back to 8-12 character passphrases that you forget to rotate / maybe duplicate / whatever

i forgot to mention that, once the hopefully-i-get-them refunds are processed, i'm taking my poo poo off paypal too, so even if it does get compromised it won't do them much good

Use a VM or Sandbox for capturing stuff like that in the future so you can isolate and contain if the payload you get is not the sexy time video you wanted.

VirtualBox comes to mind, if you have 10 Pro, use HyperV or the new Sandbox.

I used an MMPEG ripper to grab Venture Brothers off the Adult Swim website, so I know how you feel.

Why not buy a ubikey/hardware token to use with your 1password? That seems like the real solution here. If you'd had that the atacker wouldn't have been able to access 1password even with your master password.

actually it wouldn't have, because the hardware token only prompts when you sign in on a new device. a big part of the reason why this was especially bad is because it was done from my usual computer/ip address, which is giving me headaches with paypal (it would be different if they had used my creds from the ukraine or whatever)

1password doesn't currently offer a way of changing this behavior (i have 2fa activated for 1password but can still sign in with just my master pw on my computers)

Gross. Dashlane gives me the option to choose new device or every time I login. Kinda surprised that 1pass doesn't have that.

are you sure there’s not a “remember this device” checkbox you can uncheck? like 1password is generally pretty good and this kind of oversight is frankly staggering. I’d expect it to be on the login screen, not in settings

how's a password vault securely supposed to check for 2fa on unlock

on new device, you can put that check on the server

on local unlock, checking a password can be done safely by deriving/entangling the top-level vault key with the password

but for, like, totp you can't do that, since it's just comparing hash(secret, time % 30s)

if you're trusting the client app to not have the 2fa check nop'd out why bother lol, they already got a key logger installed

well the way i'm doing things now is "gapping" some access. i setup a second vault that's only accessible on my laptop (which i don't have on if i'm not in front of it) and my phone (iphone, not jailbroken or anything like that). so this mitigates at least financial damage possibilities going forward
