RSA Token Incident

The RSA Token Incident was a security breach in 2011 where hackers stole information related to RSA's two-factor authentication tools, called RSA SecurID tokens. These tokens are used by companies to verify employees' identities securely. The hackers gained access through targeted phishing emails, then acquired details that could help them identify vulnerabilities in the tokens. This incident raised concerns because it potentially allowed attackers to bypass security measures, making it easier for them to access sensitive systems. RSA responded by strengthening security and offering replacement tokens, highlighting the importance of robust cybersecurity practices.
