Title: Login history/man-in-the-middle
Post by: smeagol on December 02, 2013, 01:53:00 AM
Hello

Is there a way where I can see if I logged in during the times affected by the attack?  I use multiple browsers, some have remember me and others don't, so I'm not sure if I was affected.

Thanks

edit: For me the forum was down for most of the day, so this post is my first login today.

unfortunately the forum can't know. E.g. you could have attempted to log in, it could have been intercepted by the attacker, and then the account could have just appeared down for you.

Code:
If you used your password to login between 06:00 Dec 1 UTC and 20:00 Dec 2 UTC,

Was this written from someone in the future?

It is currently 04:24 Dec 2 UTC (if it was meant to say 20:00 Dec 1 UTC then luckily I was getting CloudFlare errors that whole time).

Code:
If you used your password to login between 06:00 Dec 1 UTC and 20:00 Dec 2 UTC (this is in the future -- do not login until then)

Wow - I am communicating with someone from the future!

As I have checked and verified the certificate's fingerprint then I am assuming that I am okay.

It's Dec 2 6am here, so most likely that was the time of writing in his/her local time.

There was confusion about the end time, (yes the end time is in the future, you should not login until then)

Updated DNS records may need time to properly propagate, so it's possible that there are still people out there being served the phishing site.

Check the IP that bitcointalk.org resolves to and the SHA fingerprint of the SSL-certificate and compare them with values posted by theymos to ensure that you're on the correct website before logging in.

Yup - from where I am connecting through I see 109.201.133.195 (from where I am actually located I see 108.162.196.161) so I think I am fine (did also check the SSL cert fingerprint matched the one that theymos signed).

I typed 109.201.133.195 into my url bar and pressed enter, it goes to bitcointalk and has the https with the green lock.  It's safe then, right?

It should be ok
Check the fingerprint to be sure

No. http://109.201.133.195/ is just a redirection. https://109.201.133.195/ will get you the site, but you'll get a certificate error, and I don't think that the site works properly if you use a non-standard "domain".

I was presented on one trusted computer where I had a cookie stored with a form to relogin the night of November 17th. At the time I thought maybe it was just myself that was a target of some clandestine state-sponsored attempt to soil my reputation or scam users. Now with this latest development, I'm even more paranoid now than I was then. :-\
