QUOTABLES!
quote of the day
The police can't protect consumers. People need to be more aware and educated about identity theft. You need to be a little bit wiser, a little bit smarter and there's nothing wrong with being skeptical. We live in a time when if you make it easy for someone to steal from you, someone will.
Frank Abagnale, Security consultant, the film CATCH ME IF YOU CAN is based on him

We curate pieces on the state and future of digital security. You're familiar with all the high profile hacks and thefts. The one that has me personally affected is credit fraud. Being a victim of a stolen credit card is becoming a very common occurrence. A few times a year for us. Worse? I've never been alerted that my card number was stolen by the vendor that was hacked. It's a huge pain in the ass. Takes hours to constantly replace all the numbers. And as someone who pays STRIPE enabled businesses, it's very frustrating when charges come through as Stripe and not the actual business name. This causes me to panic and think that yet again our card has been stolen... Dependable is one of the highest compliments I give. Unfortunately, it's too seldom.
