Re: The end of Phishing in sight?

Not sure I follow you... I phish someone to my site and I convince them to enter their SecurID PIN/Token on my fake page, where my script promptly and almost instantly uses their credentials to log into victim's bank on the fly. Bank sees one entry-- the Phisher's. SecurID makes it a little tougher, but certainly nowhere near the point of being "Secure" IMO, especially since I have a full 3 minutes to complete this sequence. I might even be able to make my script forward a second token verification request to the victim as I am logging into their bank, and have them enter the second sequential token, which I think then buys me a much larger window of opportunity (if I correctly understand how these tokens resync themselves to the central ACE server.)

If I get time I just might throw together a demo of this since I have a SecurID/ACE server in our lab, it would go a long way to show banks how this really isn't an answer.

Securid's pins are consumed as they are used, pin sync or login. Log it all you want.... no dice.

    I believe a SecurID token has a full 3-minute window of
    opportunity (more if you can get the user to enter two subsequent
    token #'s I believe, that's what's needed for token resync
    sequence), Phisher could simply script an instant automated MITM
    that would log them in on-the-fly, PIN and all.

    ETrade is already providing certain select customers with SecurID
    tokens.
