So, we thought this would be a good reminder for all and not just the privacy community where it was originally posted on Privacology. Our friend Tom Bartel did a great post this holiday season about how data security really starts with what sort of password you use. He talks about basic guidance that as users we should all embrace and implement when it comes to securing our online services.
“As online users, I think we’ve gotten a bit used to reports on hacked sites – data breaches online at various retailers and services where we live, work and play online. Understandable. The Office of Inadequate Security over at databreaches.net averages three or four posts a DAY. And while monthly numbers are down a bit, according to datalossdb.org, there are already 32 incidents for November.”
