Yubico Security C NFC is a cheap USB-C security key for phones and PCs

/in


Yubico’s latest security key is the Security Key C NFC, a cheaper alternative to the company’s existing YubiKey 5C NFC. The new product enables users to easily secure their Android smartphone, iPhone, or computer running Windows 10 using a physical key that makes it much harder for hackers to infiltrate an account.

The new Yubico Security Key C NFC features both USB-C and NFC, making it compatible with the majority of phones and PCs on the market. This new model, which is priced at $29 USD, supports FIDO U2F and FIDO 2.

The security key can be used with a variety of popular online services and software, including YouTube, Dropbox, Brave, Edge browser, Facebook, Twitter, Coinbase, Google accounts, Microsoft accounts, and more. Interested consumers can explore the platforms that support Yubico’s Security line of keys on its website here.

As with other security keys from Yubico and competitors, the Security Key C NFC features a design similar to a slim thumb drive, including a hole for attaching it to a keychain. The device also sports a fiberglass-reinforced body for durability. The big benefit here is the NFC support in addition to USB-C, enabling users to authenticate logins by tapping the security key to the back of the device.

The Yubico Security Key C NFC is priced at $29 USD for a single unit, while multi-packs are also available up to a tray of 50 keys. The security key should meet the needs of the average consumer, though business professionals and others who need additional protocol support can turn to the $50 YubiKey 5 Series, which includes support for things like Smart Card, OpenPGP 3, and more.

How Russia’s ‘Info Warrior’ Hackers Let Kremlin Play Geopolitics on the Cheap

The sprawling SolarWinds hack by suspected Russian state-backed hackers is the latest sign of Moscow’s growing resolve and improving technical ability to cause disruption and conduct espionage at a global scale in cyberspace.

The hack, which compromised parts of the U.S. government as well as tech companies, a hospital and a university, adds to a string of increasingly sophisticated and ever more brazen online intrusions, demonstrating how cyber operations have become a key plank in Russia’s confrontation with the West, analysts and officials say.

Moscow’s relations with the West continue to sour, and the Kremlin sees the cyber operations as a cheap and effective way to achieve its geopolitical goals, analysts say. Russia, they say, is therefore unlikely to back off from such tactics, even while facing U.S. sanctions or countermeasures.

“For a country that already perceives itself as being in conflict with the West practically in every domain except open military clashes, there is no incentive to leave any field that can offer an advantage,” said

Keir Giles,

senior consulting fellow at Chatham House think tank.

The scope of Russia’s cyber operations has grown in tandem with Moscow’s global ambitions: from cyberattacks on neighboring Estonia in 2007 to election interference in the U.S. and France a decade later, to SolarWinds, seen as one of the worst known hacks of federal computer systems.

“We can definitely see that Russia is stepping on the gas on cyber operations,” said

Sven Herpig,

a former German government cybersecurity official and expert at German independent public-policy think tank Stiftung Neue Verantwortung. “The development of new tools, the division of labor, the creation of attack platforms, has all increased in sophistication over the years,” he said.

Jamil Jaffer,

a former White House and Justice Department official, said that cyber operations have become “a significant part of [Russia’s] play.”

“It’s allowed them to level up,” said Mr. Jaffer, senior vice…
