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 I’m not surprised and even with less exposure than you to the technology I came to the same conclusion.
@MidnightRider You just have to read the newspaper or follow the news online to see this. I do remember having to tell a coworker, (several times) not to fill out those pop up ads, but she wasn’t an actual IT person, she was one of the people they needed a position for when they disbanded centralized data processing. Security to her was the need for a card to get into the department. She was just waiting to retire.
@cjcrew I used to have what looked like a credit card that would change number sequences every n30 seconds. That was the only way to sign into the company mainframe was to match those numbers. It was very secret agent at that time, I liked it.
@MidnightRider Oh yeah! We had those when I first started there. I still have mine around here someplace. Those were pretty cool.
