Since the registration processes would check the availability of an email address, we can use it to gather more intel. Let’s see if these emails are possible LastPass uses Lastpass? The LastPass vault is a gold mine of credentials since one phishing attack can result in many credentials. Now with these target emails, you explore the options available for your attack. You first try to get a small collection of email addresses from searching through LinkedIn, Github, Twitter, blogs, and other OSINT sources. Let’s say you have to target an individual or a company. What makes LastPass unique is that it is the only site that I personally use that is still vulnerable to MITM even when using a Yubikey. Of course, phishing using MITM applies to many other sites. Here’s an overview of how a MITM attack works. We use a reverse proxy to do a “man-in-the-middle” (MITM) attack to steal the credentials and bypass 2 Factor Authentication (2FA). Let’s take a red team mindset to appreciate why phishing is so effective and how easy it is for us to fall for it. So a YubiKey 5 can be used both in an OTP mode and security key mode. *Let’s reserve the term “security key” only when using U2F. Is this important and is U2F really THAT more secure? So although we are using a Yubikey, we aren’t using it as a security key*. (3) and (4) give similar protections against phishing.

Password and hard token (LastPass + Yubico OTP).

Password and soft token (LastPass + Google Authenticator).Here’s a list of levels of auth from the “the Hierarchy of Auth” from least secure to most secure: Why? Lastpass’s integration with Yubico using Yubico OTP and not U2F. It quickly became obvious that using a Yubikey did not make my LastPass vault any more secure against phishing.

#LASTPASS BREACH UPGRADE#

Being a long time user of Lastpass, I didn’t think twice and paid to upgrade to premium. To use this “Advanced Multi-factor Option” with Lastpass, I needed a premium account.

With that said, I recently got myself some Yubikeys. In the diagram, we see that YubiKey is more secure, easy to use, and not phishable. Using U2F, authentication “magically” doesn’t work when it is a malicious site, even when the victim is tricked.īelow we see LastPass endorsing the use of YubiKeys. By using security keys and protocols such as U2F, you relieve some of this burden from the user. The user has the responsibility to distinguishing legitimate vs malicious sites. In a phishing attack, the weak point is the human user. “We have had no reported or confirmed account takeovers since implementing security keys at Google” We see success stories such as (2018, Google: Security Keys Neutralized Employee Phishing): How do we combat this? Aside from educating employees on phishing attacks, security keys are an effective way to mitigate this increased risk. This results in headlines such as “Phishing Attacks Increase 350 Percent Amid COVID-19 Quarantine (2020)”. Moreover, with the new remote working conditions, we are more at risk of phishing attacks. Instead of using a fancy new exploit to steal a victim’s credentials, the hacker just asks the victims to hand their credentials over. In recent years, phishing has proven to be one of the most effective ways of hacking people. This is the protocol that is likely used whenever you hear about security keys. how LastPass encrypts and handles your vault.Aside from that, I will give an overview of: I hope that this helps you appreciate that YubiKey ≠ U2F.

In this article, I demonstrate how to deploy a phishing attack on LastPass users, even when they are protected with Yubikey physical keys. LastPass doesn’t support U2F so this is disappointingly simple. I’ll say it upfront for the techy people: (un)fortunately, this is NOT a MITM attack of U2F*.
