Most people only have 1 account. But you shoul hdave more then one.
Holding account purchases: main email that is your backup and used to hold online purchases for Amazon and other sites. personal: used for friends and family social: used on message boards and social networks.
if one is compromised, it will not affect the others.
Until the fix was sent out to everyone. Even though Apple and MS people find something like this with Linux, the issue is immediately fixed and distributed overnight rather then waiting for a committee from Microsoft to fix the problem months from now.
I highly doubt the case. The pink cars are always a repaint. Theives know that pink is not a color that is sold off a car lot. But, paint a Porsche, Lexus, Bugatti, etc pink, and the car will still be stolen.
These guys got lucky and hope to keep going with their chocolate idea. The only thing is that they need to keep their idea going. By being near the top of Google's search list, they will make money until it wavers. The CNN news story is the ground breaking story, now they would need to advertise on Television and maybe make an appearance on a show for a few minutes to make a huge profit for the company to survive on.
All carriers require an ID to obtain a prepaid. The system will not allow the person to put anything in... well unless they were bribed to do that so the number would be untraceable. The result would be a legal address to the someone that actually didn't live there. Other then that carriers like AT&T & Verizon Wireless require the person's information before they can activate the account.
One problem with this law. The phone numbers will be outdated even the IMEI number. Customers can switch numbers and phones faster then a cop can trace them. Especially GSM phones, since the IMEI (traced ID number) can be switched to a new phone just be switching the SIM card.
Or just activate another SIM card. It's that easy ($10) for a SIM card. All it takes is someone greedy at the cell phone store to accept the changes without letting anyone else know.
There are people out there that do not trust the sites and would rather BUY the CD and use that. It's a feeling of ownership and that they've earned the product. It's what's been drilled into their heads over the years that nothing is free.
The attack can only be made within the range of the router. The infiltrator will log into the router with the default password that was NEVER changed and than setup the default location of what the user might look for. In other words, this is a planned attack, and the packet sniffing will need to watch where the user goes for online banking, shopping, or bill paying. From there, they would need to reconstruct ALL the pages just to collect the necessary data to "steal" their identity. For someone who does view the online shops frequently will notice any difference to the web pages.
Is this a new type of threat? Yes, where is it more likely to happen? In a city or dense community.
