Hackers have increased their focus on cracking password managers by extracting data from RAM and registry, compromising local and cloud storage.

Good thing the KeepassXC can be used as a 2nd factor authenticator, though it has TOTP only, doesn’t offer HOTP.

On New Year’s Eve, each of us can radically change our lives, we can only wish him luck.

Ubuntu – few applications, unstable: over time, some problems with the volume were, cured only reboot; there is no normal application Telegram (web client that the battery eats).

CalyxOS is subjectively more convenient, F-Droid and RuStore download by machine, F-Droid installs an update machine, RuStore downloads and asks for /e/OS RuStore to download forcibly. Also on both MicroG systems, but on /e/OS, SBPay bent and didn’t work, on CalyxOS - no problem. Similar to applications, for example, for renting scooters: on /e/OS some problems, on CalyxOS - no problems. There are fewer problems with CalyxOS.

With Sber, Rosselkhozbank and Unicredit, there are no problems there or there. Russian mail application does not work on any platform.

The only plus/e/OS is what is in GooglePlay, but not in RuStore, it is easier to put: AuroraStore on CalyxOS makes you go out and log in all the time to update the installed applications; on /e/OS, what is installed in your home store, including with Google PlayStore applications is updated without problems by automaton.

Mull was fixed in the DivestOS repository as early as October 17th, but to do this you need to add to F-Droid and reinstall Mull.

You were right. After the arrest, it caused a backlash in India. An investigation was launched against the encrypted messaging app to find out whether it violated Indian laws.

I expected you to say that, that it was something else. :D

It’s you protonmail who will tell how they disclose user data, which leads to arrest in Spain. Source

I was too lazy to just google it, but he has citizenship in Russia, the UAE, France, and Saint Kitts and Nevis.

Got carried away with democracy and attempts to feel like someone. So what kind of moron do you have to be to get EU citizenship? Thought he would run away from the democrats and liberals. Well, he’s an idiot and that’s it.

He wanted Uncle Vova to hide him from the bad guys, but he sent him away, there was no meeting. Pasha went to a foreign land.

It’s own fault, you shouldn’t have taken the citizenship of this stinking pad… You should have taken the citizenship of the Emirates or India or Brazil, for example… Having French citizenship now is a disgrace.

Durov, as a citizen of France, recently sent them away when they asked for access, and then flew to them to test the strength of democracy. Imbecility and courage.

Verifying the Security Claim of 2FA Devices

The claim that using OTP tokens and Yubikeys compromises your security and privacy is completely false.

Let’s look at this in more detail.

Arguments against concerns:

1. Limited information:

• Device serial numbers and purchase details are stored by the retailer, but this does not provide access to your accounts. Serial numbers themselves cannot be used for hacking.

2. Cryptographic protection:

• Yubikey and OTP tokens use strong cryptographic methods such as HMAC-SHA1, RSA and ECC, which make OTP generation extremely secure and tamper-resistant.

3. Physical access:

• Authentication using these devices requires physical access to the device. This means that an attacker must physically possess your Yubikey or OTP token in order to be authenticated.

4. No transfer of personal data:

• These devices do not transmit or store personal user information on third-party servers. They generate one-time codes locally and send them only to the target service.

5. Phishing protection:

• Yubikey with FIDO U2F and FIDO2 support protects against phishing because the codes are domain specific and cannot be used on phishing sites.

Additional arguments:

1. Reducing dependency on passwords:

• Using 2FA devices reduces the risk of accounts being compromised, even if the primary password is stolen.

2. Integrated protection systems:

• When combined with other security measures, such as two-factor authentication with SMS or mobile apps, OTP tokens and Yubikeys create multi-layered protection that makes it harder to hack.

3. Convenience and speed:

• These devices simplify the login process by providing instant and secure authentication without the need to remember complex passwords.

Conclusion:

While purchasing a 2FA device may leave traces in merchants’ databases, the risks are minimal compared to the security they provide. Yubikey and OTP tokens significantly increase the level of security for your accounts, especially when combined with other security methods. Therefore, the claim that using these devices compromises your security and privacy is untrue.
