Re: Has anyone ever heard of a local LSA secrets file on a Windows workstation being compromised?



Understood. They exist in plain text inside the LSA Secrets memory process.
One would need to attack that to dump the entries. By default, one needs
SecDebugProcess right in order to do so, by default this is only granted to
Administrators. Which is why one needs to secure the local admin account
and all members of the Administrators to the best of their abilities.
