Krebs on Security

Social media sites are littered with seemingly innocuous little quizzes, games and surveys urging people to reminisce about specific topics, such as "What was your first job," or "What was your first car?"

This is one piece of security advice I disagree with. We should not be concerned with fun trivia about ourselves. I believe it is the responsibility of the sites using such information as "security" questions. Computer security already pushes a large burden on the user (sometimes unavoidable), but I don't believe we should automatically say users should not do anything that could hurt their security. With that said, my answer to security questions is "head -c 16 /dev/urandom | base64"

Then you have to keep track of what random stuff you replied to whom. That's even worse than lying and then having to remember who you told what lie.

The single most important device for desktop or laptop computer security is the device between the chair and the keyboard. Likewise, the most important security device for a cellphone or tablet is the ugly bag of mostly water operating the phone or tablet. If you don't practice good security habits, all the software and government regulations in the world will not protect you.

You put a Play button on there, when it's not a video? I hate when that happens!

Oh, forgot to mention...anyone with more than three brain cells knows that, besides being my favorite, the greatest movie since the creation of Earth is "Casablanca". Just had to throw that in here :)

I get it, knowing anything can lead a data scientist to some kind of profile information about a target. Knowing a person's favorite movie may help tell age, gender, race and all kinds of other inferential stuff. Some stuff you write can come back at you like a boomerang, just ask Trump.
