According to a GMI poll, Brazilians don’t trust people with their data. That’s wise.
Some 76 percent of the consumers polled by GMI on behalf of Fortinet have concerns over how companies are looking after their details in the event of a possible data leak.
Look at the Top 30 Targetted High-Risk Vulnerabilities as identified by US, CAN, UK, NZ and AUS cyber security organizations.
A healthy lack of faith in corporate security isn’t enough. Two-stage identification vastly improves online security.
However, when it comes to what consumers are doing to protect their own information, some 81 percent mentioned they had adopted some form of improved security measure such as better passwords, but were not aware of other ways of boosting data security, such as two-factor authentication.
Two-stage identification is such that not only the user, but the machine is authenticated as well, and if a user connects via a previously unidentified computer the user is contacted (email, text message, what have you) for permission to allow that computer access to your accounts.
You should definitely set up 2-stage id for any online account that you use.

That sound you hear is the irony meter redlining.
Yep…my real name is Edward Teach…really it is. Really.
You can be SUCH an asshole. Coming from me that’s saying something.

Dropped by for a coffee and a smoke.
Thanks for the invite and good luck!
“Brazilians are Smart”
… any nation that invented waxed beavers can’t be all wrong…
LOL. That’s it? An expired self-signed SSL cert on a server that does no external HTTP or HTTPS processing other than GET? That’s it?
Honestly, I’m much more worried about the DMS.
And get a password manager like LastPass or OnePassword and then use it to record generated 16 character random passwords as answers to the security questions sites often have you fill out in case you forget your password on top of using it to manage your actual site passwords. Mother’s maiden name is a bit too easy to find online/social engineer, effectively another password, not so much.
And RSA keys as the second factor are better than text messages as it’s not that hard to social engineer a telecom to get texts from a number forwarded to another.
