Total cross posting, but just wanted to get the news out to anyone not trolling the tech sites yesterday evening.

!#$^@*&@$%!~!!!

I swear, about the only way to be secure in anything anymore is to have a randomly generated throw-away account for every login you have, and keep them all in a Keepass-type software. Then get randomly generated on-time banking information for each transaction you need processed.

Better way: don't go online.
Even better way: don't use a PC.
Even betterer way: don't use cards at all.
.... you get the idea


:P


EDIT: Seriously, I need to stop posting when tired!

I think automatic castration or hanging (offender's choice, unless they are female) in these sorts of crimes would go a long way as a deterrent for those who are caught.

For those involved at Penn State, castration by hanging should be only the start.

And don't get me started on drunk driving. At a bare minimum, any drunk driver should have inflicted on him any damage caused to others, and if there is a repeat offense, hanging in the public square. There isn't ever any call for drunk driving. It is 100% avoidable, and easy to avoid. I'm not drunk driving right now!

Something clearly has my dander up today. Good thing it is Friday...

If my bank offered that, I'd take it.

Well, I use KeyPass for every password I use. There is no way in hell I would be able to remember the passwords I have it generate for me. Even my Yahoo! account has a 20 digit, 128bit encrypted password with crazy-ass symbols in the password. I have my single password that I have to memorize for KeyPass that I have never used for anything else and is unrelated to anything in my life, so nobody would be able to guess it, and I have 4 copies of my KeyPass database file, just in case I lose the dongle I keep it on.
