http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9214757/RSA_warns_SecurID_customers_after_company_is_hacked By Robert McMillan IDG News Service March 17, 2011 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. In a note published on the company's website late Thursday, RSA Executive Chairman Art Coviello said his company is "actively communicating this situation to RSA customers and providing immediate steps for them to take to strengthen their SecurID implementations." "While at this time we are confident that the information extracted does not enable a successful direct attack on any of our RSA SecurID customers, this information could potentially be used to reduce the effectiveness of a current two-factor authentication implementation as part of a broader attack," Coviello said. Coviello's note offered few details on what happened, but it has offered some guidance for customers.
