WOW a lot of bitcointalk accounts are getting compromised. Theymos 2FA is need!
I think that this attack involves stealing cookies using some weakness in Java, so two-factor authentication wouldn't help here.
Ekk, if this is the case, by damned people need to start locking down their browsers. Easy way for mozilla is cookie monster.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookie-monster/I'm not being self centered, but my browser is a fortress. Nothing normally that usually gets through a default browser, mine is setup to block. Tons of about:config settings, cookies, noscript,requestpolicy,mvps hosts,adblock with malware blocking list and others, I've got a ton of crap to long to list in here and be ot.
[edit]btw, as noted in the other thread, I've got java uninstalled too
[/edit]Need to get a point across to new comers & even old timers about browser security, some how. A browser can be a double doorway to your computer, letting things roll in then out.
Block cookies and only allow cookies you trust for a certain time.
Edit:
Seriously, need a security section here
