Malware collection of passwords.

Definitely use trustworthy devices at all times.

Use solid antivirus, and Bitdefender, ESET, Avast, and AVG.

The digital wired and unwired lifestyles hang precariously over the slippery slopes of insecurity and uncertainty.

Passwords are stored as hashes. Almost impossible to generate password from a hash.

My wife got a message from our Bank about a 3,500.00 purchase of Airline tickets from Peru to L.A.on her account. All the info was correct but the Bank was suspicious and called to affirm. Lucky for us because it was bogus and now we had to cancel that card and wait to get a new one. Just happened this weekend. Be Aware!@
