3 months? Once had a place where it had to be done weekly. And obviously people have to have one for every website. Often with logins tha are different as well.
And no, a password manager can not be used everywhere.
Password policy is basically blameshifting to the enduser.
The good news is that nobody has a bigger incentive to address this problem than the industry itself.
So what is this big incentive for the industry? They do not care that second hand are thrown away instead of used again. They even would welcome it. "Pleasy buy my stuff and throw it away without wearing it." "Please use it as a fule source." All things they would be totally ok with, as long as you give them monies.
When I want a pizza, I just go to a mom and pop pizzeria and have a nice meal with friend over a bottle of wine and a human waiter who talks to me. When I want what they have, I just put some oil on a cardboard and eat that.
I had a similar experience. I needed some medicine, but I had to go to a doctor and there where 10 people waiting in front of me. So I just went in the ally round the corner where MrZZZ hoocked me up in 2 minutes, Standard doctors and the politicians who protect them can go drive off a cliff.
I can hear you say "But that is different". No it is comparing legal and illegal. I could do it with employing people. I could do it with registering a car. ID verification when you order a beer.
Yes, illegal will always have an edge on legal things. Otherwise criminals would not be competitive. By cutting out part of the legal requirements you can deliver faster or cheaper or both.
So what must be done is change the law. There are plenty of places in the world that do NOT operate like NYC and almost anybody can become a taxi driver.
But it will be soon at 40.000, because that is why I invested everyting I had and maxed out my credit cards and loaned money from "Friendly Tony". FYI, I think that name is not really how he is. Quick poll, right knee or left one? At least he gave me as much choice as the US political system. SELL. SELL. SELL. SELLLLLL...
So is production halted, or are the new devices and processors already adapted? They know there us an issue, so are they still selling and producing these faulty items? Talking about the chip manufacturers, not hardware ones.
You almost had it right and then you ruined it by saying they should look at companies. They should not. It is "For the people, by the people." Thinking of the companies brought us in this mess.
Well, obviously hindsight is 20/20. At that moment it looked as if it was going to work. One minor differences in oil pricing and politics and development in cheap flights and it could have gone much better or much worse. Neither you nor I nor Boeing or Airbus can predict the future. They can not do that now. They could not do it then.
Another thing is that it put Airbus on the map in serious way. That means thaee at least is some competition. Because honestly, who else is there? Bombardier?
'Very High Level of Confidence' Russia Used Kaspersky Software'. So what does that mean? Is "We heard it from two people" very high? For all I know the "Very high" still means that they THINK it is the case, but are not sure. The amount of "Very High Level of Confidence" as finding WMD's in Iraq? Because we know what that ended up to be.
What I see is that the NSA does not want us to use it. So what does that mean in the best case scenario? Only the Russians have access to data IF you use Kasperski. What does it mean in the worst case scenario? The NSA does NOT have access if you use Kasperski, but besides that everybody, including the NSA has access. So if you use any other Anti Virus program, they still have access.
Because how do you know the Russians don't have access when you use anything else?
Why would they invest in nuclear power if solar power holds so much promise on providing cheap energy?
Because it is not wise to bet on only one horse. Energy is not an OR/OR thing. Most of the things are not.
It is just that we are trained to think that way. Either Rep OR Dem. Either iPhone OR Android. But as always you can do several things at the same time. I am sure they are investing in other things as well. Wind and water energy perhaps and many other things.
That way if one collapses in profit, you still have the rest. Because even if everybody would go to solar tomorrow does not mean that you can get a lot of money, because not on;y are all people using it, everybody is producing it. With nuclear energy, there will likely be less players, so less competition, so higher margins to make a profit.
What about the pop music from the 50-ies? Or even before that. If you take a short enough time, you will see a trent.
And music in the 'past 10 years' was always bad. Because listening to music will be connected to memories and often nice memories. You will stop listening to music you do not like and perhaps even listening to music that you previously not like.
I clearly remember when the 80-ies where shit music. I remember the Boom-boom-boom of repative music of the New Beat.
Correlation is also not causation. Much of the music is easier to be put online, so more can be analized. Also: repetative music is easier to make, so easier to put online.
Yes, we do not have the Rock-Opera of the 70-ies anymore where you had to listen for 10 minutes for a single number. That is now called an EP.
What I would like is that either 2tier security, where they send me an SMS with a code to congirm, is either the persons choice or obligatory for every purchase. At this moment it is not. It is up to the merchant. That together with a PIN would make it very hard to use the card, even if you have the number. I already have 'save CC details' off where I can.
Sure you can, buy why would you (unless you are a psychopat). It is about cost analysis. Why would I bother to send in things that cost money (be it people or houses or whatever) If I get a cheaper result otherwise?
Does that mean there will never be any violence? No, that does not mean that. It is just a lot less.
As somebody who gets a lot of reaction on people not being able to understand what they read, this happened only now? I have a system with coins that selects yes/no that has a better understanding than humans.
With FB and all the rest it is the Phone/Customer that send the information. With a cellphone call, it is the provider that sends the information.
Also not that if you are unwilling to send the info, you can turn it of. If the provider is sending the information, you are unable to turn it of, regardless of the reason.
And you can bet they will then also be starting to ask for the data to be given freely with non 911 calls.
In Europe the payment is verified online. The amount of data that is exchanged looks more like a single TCP/IP packet in size than anything else. So card is read, verification is done to the server if the card is valid and the amount is available. PIN is entered to do the verification, this is send back and forth and the transaction receives an OK and the transaction is done.
The thing I understand is that many cardreaders are mallconfigured, so they do a verification to every sever that is programmed instead of just the one.
In more detail for Europe: Merchant does a connection to his credit company, they look at the cardnumber and look up who does the autorisation for that card. They do the autorisation and it gets back. Bit like DNS works. In the US, as far as I understand, many are configured to verify at several places. That would be as if your google.com waits for every server from Google if you ask for a page, even if there is no need for it.
In Europe there is also no caching of data. Most merchands will not have the data with them. Even online they will not have it, so you need to enter CC data each time. This reduces their liability.
The sate of CC security is deplorable in the US. I live in Europe and what we see is that the most insecure country is the USofA and not even because of the fact that is is used in more places, because it isn't. The reason is that they do not have implemented the PIN system. They have done so in every country in the world. There are merchants in those other countries as well. All the same excuses have been thought of as well, yet everywhere they where able to push it through.
It is so bad that many banks and others have decided that if you go to the US, you need to ask that your card be activated. It is the ONLY country where they do that. None. Not some poor country in Africa, not any country elsewhere, just the US, because it is so unsafe.
Now you could say that the US merchants would need to buy a new machine. This is also valid for the rest of the world. The price of these devices is around 25EUR and more expensive and cheaper versions exist. In Europe these will be given to the merchant and paid by the fee.
The thing is that in Europe these machines will be used for any electronic payment. I myself can pay at the supermarket with my Credit Cards, bank card, meal voucher (I get 8EUR per working day for food. Standard practice in Belgium) store voucher, gift voucher and even can combine them if I like.
Normally when I go to somewhere in Europe, I do not even bother to take cash with me. Just pay everything by card. Luckily I was in the US with a friend who lived there, because I was flabbergasted by the fact that you needed to pay cash for so many things. Parking and toll roads stand out the most. In Europe at these you can pay electronically.
And there is no difference in the procedure in payment on what card you use, just if they are accepted. So no difference in usage. This has been the case for at least 10-15 years, so it is clearly unwillingness from the US.
As to the merchant not knowing if the card is fraudulent or not, the payments are mostly done online. So verification goes back and forth. (Yes, there are exceptions, as always) so the moment you block your card, the merchant will know. This means there is still a small window that the card is valid.
The other problem with the US system is that beacause of that, many airlines still do accptence without e.g. 3d Secure where you get an SMS to confirm that you are you. This would reduce the fraud seriously. I think they are working of making that obligatory.
Whoever is behind these attacks has a high level of sophistication and operational awareness.
I would not be surprised if they are linked and even done by Ukraine, while the real person behind it is Russia. Funding this so they can say they need to invade that country. It is something I see Russia capable of doing. It worked in the past, it will work again. It is enough to keep others out of the region.
War has and will always be over either control of people of control over what people own. Both can be done much more efficiently with data. The war is already going on and not just the Russians who influence the elections. (legally or illegally) Also by the American, by companies and by anybody else.
And as always, the people losing most, be it their money or their freedom or both, are the common people.
What I find odd in that Star Treks's 24the Century Earth is the amount of uniforms. And one would have to wonder who would own these matter replicators, because tjose are the people who would have power over you.

Yes.
