Re: Identity Theft – Your Use of Passwords Could Be Your Only Line of Defense

I think that it needs to be a mix of both. Users need to have a general understanding of the security risks that they could face, and companies need to attempt to remediate the types of security risks that can be out of a user's control. Each person needs to be responsible for themselves when it comes to their own security, but companies need to help with that either by awareness, or implementing security controls that will try to prevent a user from making poor decisions online. In the end, a company can only do so much to to protect uneducated users, but some preventative measures need to be put into effect to maintain reliability and trustworthiness with their customers.

Amazing comments Corrie. You are spot on. Thank you for sharing :) - Do you think that companies like Twitter and banks should be focusing more on features like your describe so users control more of the security risk? Or should these companies handle security for their customers?

Facebook has a neat feature that will notify you (via Email or Text Message) when there is an authenticated login from a device that hasn't been used before. It can be annoying at first, but once you login from the lets say three devices you would normally use, it's really helpful in immediately identifying that another device out of the norm authenticated. It will even display where the login originated from geographically. In circumstances like this Twitter scandal, it's good for people to actually browse through the security options in the sites they use. It's also good to be careful what you post on the internet as well. If a bad guy has your username, often times clicking "forget password" can lead to security questions. If bad guy knows your security questions, all they have to do is check what you post on Facebook to find out your dogs name and what town your high school was located in. Googling yourself often gives a user a good idea of what can be publicly known about them.

Looks like a great line-up of projects this semester. The blogs are a great idea and I cannot wait to see these projects develop as time goes on.
