If a hacker gets a “copy” of your password, she can log in to your account and do whatever she wants.As always, using 2 factor authentication can mitigate this issue, since the hacker needs to access your phone as well. But what if using 2FA is not an option, and we want to protect the user even in this case, can we detect,when the hacker tries to login, that it is not the real user but rather somebody who stole her password who is trying to log in?Partially-Random passwordsOne solution (...)

Techniques used by government-backed malware are surfacing in the code used by ordinary cyber criminals.

(...) the techniques used in sophisticated, state-backed malware are trickling down to less-skilled programmers who target regular Web users and their online accounts or credit card details.

“Cybercriminals read the news as well,” says Roel Schouwenberg, a security researcher with Russian computer security company Kaspersky. Schouwenberg adds that sophisticated, state-sponsored “cyberweapons and targeted attacks now give us some insight into what will be coming into the mainstream.”
