Yesterday: Infomercial about people stealing your home titles, life lock type of sales pitch from the back of the covered wagon. Anyhow, get the mail and open yet another “ breach of medical information “ from facilities easily hacked. So what good was life lock again kids?
@MidnightRider After 25 years in IT I came to the conclusion that nothing online is ever, truly, safe and secure. You build a tighter system and hackers just build a better hacking system. We got hacked a couple times while I worked at MSU and I know they did the best they could to secure the data.
@cjcrew @MidnightRider This is why I keep my passwords simple, just letters and a few digits. I tried making them relatively secure, using upper & lower case letters and special characters, but I eventually realized that it's pointless if the platform itself isn't secure - and none of them are. Every week or two, I see reports that one major website or another has been hacked and user info spread on the dark web. Often, it's not the first time. So, what's the point?
@POOetryma Mine are a mess in a spiral notebook. Only the important ones matter to me. I love the IPad finger sign in. Face it there’s profit in data so air tight security will never exist simply because $$$$ is made in it not being solid.
@MidnightRider @POOetryma I have a binder with all of mine along with all documents my son would need if I passed away suddenly. Accounts for my bills, my will, deeds, insurance information. I keep it hidden where he knows to find it. I had a loved one die young 20 years ago and we couldn’t get into some important things that were on his computer. It made things hard and painful so I do keep it written down.
