EMC's RSA Security division says the security of the company's two-factor SecurID tokens could be at risk following a sophisticated cyber-attack on the company.
The cyber-attack was "recent" and was a so-called Advanced Persistent Threat incident, Coviello said. This is the type of attack that compromised systems at Google and as many as 100 other companies in late 2009. Hackers use e-mail-based or Web-based attacks to get a foothold in the company and then move about the company's internal networks looking for sensitive data to sneak out.
Read the note from the RSA executive chairnman, including some guidance for customers.
