I got hit with the same kind of phishing attack a couple months ago It's pretty incredible the level of UI engineering that went into it. Some screenshots I took: https://x.com/grinich/status/1963744947053703309

I'm sorry but the imagecontent-x.com url should throw red flags for anyone.

They prevent you from being one of these, and copy pasting the password from password manager into the wrong input field. Something that still happens often with many websites not properly auto-filling from password managers. > They just rely on you being busy, or out, or tired, and just not checking closely enough
If you are "copy-pasting" you are not using your password manager correctly.
Re: Kurt Got Got
#124When we did annual pen testing audits for my last company, the security audit company always offered to do phishing or social engineering attacks, but advised against it because they said it worked every single time. One of the most memorable things they shared is they'd throw USB sticks in the parking lot of the company they were pentesting and somebody would always put the thing into a workstation to see what as on…
Our company does regular phishing attacks against our own team, which apparently gets us a noteworthy 90% ‘not-click’ rate (don’t quote me on numbers). Never mind that that 10% is still 1500 people xD It’s gone so far that they’re now sending them from our internal domains, so when the banner to warn me it was an external email wasn’t there, I also got got.

Password managers rarely are able to autofill 100% of the time. Autofill breaking is not a very strong indicator of a phishing attempt, people are used to manually filling the password in sometimes for totally legit sites.
Re: Kurt Got Got
#126This is why properly working password managers are important, and why as a web site operator you should make sure to not break them. My password not auto-filling on a web site is a sufficient red flag to immediately become very watchful. Code-based 2FA, on the other hand, is completely useless against phishing. If I'm logging in, I'm logging in, and you're getting my 2FA code (regardless of whether it's coming from a…
the creator of https://haveibeenpwned.com got phished once (no kidding), and he uses a password manager.
"I went to the link which is on mailchimp-sso.com and entered my credentials which - crucially - did not auto-complete from 1Password. I then entered the OTP and the page hung. Moments later, the penny dropped, and I logged onto the official website, which Mailchimp confirmed via a notification email which showed my London IP address:"

So what happened exactly? Did Kurt enter his twitter password manually after clicking on that phishing link? Did he not get his sus detector going off after the password manager didn't suggest the password?
Unfortunately, this does not work. I see no end of banks, financial institutions, let alone random companies, who keep their authentication, for some reason, on different domain than main company, and sometimes they would have initial registration (which gets recorded in password manager) on one domain, and consequent logins on another, and sometimes it depends on how you arrived at the site, or which integration are…
What do you get from checking a certificate? Oh yeah, must really be citibank because they have a shitton of SANs? I'd guess most banks do have a cert with an organization name, but organization names can be misleading, and some banks might use LetsEncrypt?
