"N'importe qui aurait pu faire cette cyberattaque. Elle n'est absolument pas sophistiquée" Hier invité du débat de @28minutes sur @ARTEfr, j'ai voulu rappeler certains points très simples sans aucune animosité ou ressentiment... Hélas, on est très loin d'une cyberattaque sophistiquée ! Pour rappel, des milliers de comptes informatiques sont volés et revendus quotidiennement par lot pour quelques euros. En cybersecurité, il existe des solutions pour les détecter et révoquer ces comptes... parfois en amont... parfois en aval... Il y a aussi d'autres dispositifs pour limiter la casse de ce vols d'identifiants, la double authentification, les passkeys et autres otp physiques... Ça évite que même en tant de vol et usurpation de l'identité, on puisse se connecter au compte de la personne et donc avoir tous ces privilèges sur le système. D'ailleurs on parle bcp de l'agent du fisc qui a eu son compte volé mais absolument pas de cet autre tiers de confiance qui a aussi été piraté et qui avait un niveau de privilège "excessif". Pour le dire autrement, quelle est cette autre administration ou entreprise privée qui avait autant de droits sur le système de la DGFIP. Vous voulez que je vous dise, c'est la faute à pas de chance... enfin presque ! On aurait pu dans de nombreux piratages en France prévenir cela ! Je pointe aussi le manque ou l'absence de formation pour acculturer et accompagner les agents dans les administrations. Vous avez beau avoir le meilleur système si un utilisateur oublie de fermer la fenêtre ou clique sur un lien, et bien c'est la débandade ! Ce cybercriminel, avec le hasard, était finalement au bon endroit et au bon moment. La DGFIP n'a rien vu... Merci à 28Minutes pour ce débat quali et animé !
