SANS Stormcast Monday, May 5th: Steganography Challenge; Microsoft Makes Passkeys Default and Moves Away from Authenticator as Password Manager; Magento Components Backdoored. Steganography Challenge Didier published a fun steganography challenge. A solution will be offered on Saturday. https://isc.sans.edu/diary/Steganography+Challenge/31910 Microsoft Makes Passkeys Default Authentication Method Microsoft is now encouraging new users to use Passkeys as the “default” and only login method, further moving away from passwords https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2025/05/01/pushing-passkeys-forward-microsofts-latest-updates-for-simpler-safer-sign-ins/ Microsoft Authenticator Autofill Changes Microsoft will no longer support the use of Microsoft authenticator as a password safe. Instead, it will move users to the password prefill feature built into Microsoft Edge. This change will start in June and should be completed in August at which point you must have moved your credentials out of Microsoft Authenticator https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/account-billing/changes-to-microsoft-authenticator-autofill-09fd75df-dc04-4477-9619-811510805ab6 Backdoor found in popular e-commerce components SANSEC identified several backdoored Magento e-commerce components. These backdoors were installed as far back as 2019 but only recently activated, at which point they became known. Affected vendors dispute any compromise at this point. https://sansec.io/research/license-backdoor keywords: backdoor; magento; msft; authenticator; passkeys; stegaonography; challenge
