Hackers have managed to compromise a telephony provider for Duo, the Cisco-owned company providing secure access solutions, and steal MFA SMS message logs of Duo customers."The threat actor downloaded message logs for SMS messages that were sent to certain users under your Duo account between March 1, 2024 and March 31, 2024," the Cisco Data Privacy and Incident Response Team notified its MSP partners.
Cisco Duo's security team warns that hackers stole some customers' VoIP and SMS logs for multi-factor authentication messages in a cyberattack on their telephony provider. In emails sent to customers, Cisco Duo says an unnamed provider who handles the company's SMS and VOIP multi-factor authentication messages was compromised on April 1, 2024.
Microsoft Authenticator utilizes push notifications, one-time passcodes and can integrate with Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Entra ID. While both 2FA options share some similarities, there are key differences that can sway your decision to choose one over the other. Microsoft Authenticator is free and comes bundled with all Microsoft Entra ID and 365 Business accounts.
While both Okta and Duo offer strong identity management features like multi-factor authentication, user provisioning, single sign-on and endpoint visibility, there are still notable differences in how each vendor approaches IAM. Duo, which is now part of Cisco Security, takes a more unified approach to IAM, while Okta uses a two-pronged approach: workforce identity cloud and customer identity cloud. While pricing in both Okta and Duo is based on the number of users, Okta's is further determined by the product you choose.
Two Chinese nationals are facing a maximum of 20 years in prison after being convicted of mailing thousands of fake iPhones to Apple for repair in the hope they'd be replaced with new handsets. The Department of Justice says the pair submitted upwards of 5,000 "Inauthentic" iPhones to the tech giant "Intending to cause a loss of more than $3 million to Apple" between May 2017 and September 2019.
While Apple isn't explicitly named in the recently unsealed court papers, it's not difficult to deduce that the identity of "Company A," as written in the indictment, is the consumer tech megacorp. Looking deeper into the case background, it's also revealed that one of the defendants redeemed one of the stolen gift cards to their personal app store account, where they purchased Final Cut Pro - software developed by Apple that only runs on Apple hardware.
