Engadget: If you've ever wondered whether two-factor authentication systems actually boost security, things that spit out pseudorandom numbers you have to enter in addition to a password, the answer is yes, yes they do.
Network World: "Does the RSA SecurID two-token authentication system include a back door that was built in at the request of the U.S. government in exchange for letting RSA export SecurID?
"RSA cut a deal with the government to provide a back door for surveillance work," say some industry analysts, who asked not to be identified. They say the trade-off let RSA export SecurID. RSA today would not confirm or deny this, indicating it was limiting its discussion of SecurID since last week's disclosure of a network breach where "certain information" about SecurID was stolen."
Everything is getting hacked now adays.
