        <description><![CDATA[Anyone that still uses 1 e-mail account for their life gets what they deserve. Am I being a cruel hard-a$$?? People keep saying they don't want to be bothered until they get caught. I got caught reusing an e-mail password to a blog account that got hacked. I then lost that e-mail address. Thankfully, it was my blog e-mail address.You need at least 5 different PRIVATE e-mail addresses:1) Personal messages - only your friends know it.2) Retail purchases - that's where all your receipts and tracking messages go.3) Financial accounts - your bank and investment accounts get tracked here.4) Junk mail - this is the address you use to sign up for commercial newsletters This one will probably get spammed.5) Blogs - any time you want to comment somewhere, give them this address. It's bound to be the one that is spammed the most.Splitting e-mail addresses up won't guarantee anything. My retail address gets spam now because of a security breach at a commercial junk mail vendor. But, at least you know that messages describing a package being delivered to your junk mail address is spam.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[&quot;Of course, its easy to make online security more secure but nobody can remember an insanely long, random password and nobody wants to encounter difficulties recovering your password when you forget it. &quot;What a bogus excuse! Anyone who is reasonably connected online has at least 10 financial and retail accounts. Unless you keep all your money in one account and buy everything from one store. The only way to keep anything safe is to use a password manager. These programs will also automatically populate your web page with your login information to foil keyloggers.I use LastPass to store all my &quot;insanely long, random passwords&quot;. I have over 200 financial, retail &amp; blog accounts. I haven't remembered a password in years.Too bad not all websites, including this SmartPlanet lets me create a long random password.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The majority of sites will not allow continuous attempts, usually 3 strikes and you're out, so brute-forcing at that level is pretty ineffective.  The way I understand it, the problem is if the hacker grabs the usercode/password database and can bombard this local data set.  There is no server moderating that. I'm not quite sure how this all works, but the point is, the brute-forcing is done off-line on the hacker's own computer (or zombie net).]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[It seems to me that we continue to take the WRONG approach with passwords, making them longer and more complex. If you can continue to bombard the password server with new combinations, eventually you will crack the password. The real problem lies NOT with the user, but with the application. What if your application allowed you say three attempts to log on, and if you failed three times it would not allow another attempt for an hour, or two hours, and in the second pass, you had two attempts, and if you failed again, you had to contact system security to have your password reset. Passwords should also by one way encrypted by the system, to be sure that no one could ever find a username/password file.]]></description>

        <link><![CDATA[http://www.smartplanet.com/forum/discussions/1-12550-83835]]></link>
        <description><![CDATA[If your system access is tied to your &quot;movements and metrics,&quot; then how do you protect them from being hijacked? Your phone signal can be spoofed. Your location, ditto. Imagining that such a system would be 'secure' more than what we have at present is helpful only to those who can and will steal your identity and either sell it or use it to empty your bank account, your brokerage account, or just take out a loan in your name on the other side of the country to buy a house they then convert for cash.We are all going to need to be vigilant and we are all going to have to learn the old lesson that an unwatched window, no matter how heavily barred, can and will be forced when you're not looking. There is no magic bullet, and can never be. Forgetting that lesson just makes you a patsy waiting to be fleeced. And fleeced you shall be.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I would be very glad to use Google's two-step authentication... but it depends on a smart phone. I had seen information that it would send to your email account, but couldn't find the option. I do use 1Password to generate passwords, but find it hard to use the program for general use. People who don't have smartphones are the new marginalized group (I have a smartphone, but don't always want to have it with me to access my Google account.) There's life outside the &quot;cloud&quot;... I choose a strong password, and keep it to watch my other passwords... in a place that isn't necessarily on my computer.]]></description>
