告诉 HN:攻击者利用 Google 家长控制阻止帐户恢复

8作者: TazeTSchnitzel10 天前
我认识的人 Google 账号刚被盗了,但常规的恢复方法却失效了,原因很有意思:攻击者把这个账号变成了受攻击者控制的“家长”账号管辖下的“孩子”账号。显然,这阻止了使用任何 Google 账号恢复方法(备用电话号码或电子邮件地址等),而无需家长同意。 显然,我认识的这个人并非个例,如果你搜索一下,会发现其他人也报告了他们是这种攻击的受害者。当然,对于普通用户来说,Google 的支持是形同虚设的,所以实际上没有真正的补救措施。这应该算是一个关于考虑不周的“儿童安全功能”后果的警告吗?

Someone I know just had their Google account compromised, but the normal recovery methods don&#x27;t work for an interesting reason: the attacker has made the account into a &quot;child&quot; account subordinate to an attacker-controlled &quot;parent&quot; account. This apparently blocks the ability to use any of the Google account recovery methods (backup phone number or email address etc) without parental consent.<p>Apparently this person I know isn&#x27;t alone, if you search you can find other people reporting they&#x27;ve been victims of this. And of course, Google support is nonexistent for ordinary users, so there&#x27;s no real recourse. Let this be a warning about the consequences of ill-thought-out &quot;child safety features&quot;?
