That’s probably why Facebook has been sending me an email with a code I didn’t request to change my password.

I use two step logins when available. Especially on financial sites. The login process includes a phone call or text with a number to one of my phones. The number is needed to complete the login.

Generate a list of random passwords, then mix in or add some special characters.

This might be worth seeing to.

Here’s a good article. Very quick, easy read. Good tips and information.

All your financial accounts should have 2FA (2 factor authentication, where you get a text with a 6 digit code), as well as separate strong passwords.

This is always the companies themselves who together with Governments and intelligence agencies monitizes thier monopoly. The NSA holds every key, every blockchain and it is required for a paitent or license to sell.

Trump could order the NSA to oversea an American Anti-Virus, period. Full Stop.

The code used to be wonky, but over the years the super computers have catologued everything. Of course there will continue to be occasioned exploits, by individual hackers or small gorups, or other governments, but it is fully within the power of Our Government to halt 95% of all the threats.

My last position in the USG deal with comsec, the key, management, distribution, etc. I was more interesed in the antivirus which was colocated.

The USG at levels higher than I ever aspired has it within their control to end all the damage of code and exploits. Apple, MS, and anyone else turned everything over to do business; that business is actually the USG, not a garage or college dorm room, but all of it comes from the top down and those picked to be the face of venture start ups and these massive IT companies are all connected to parents or the elites themselves which use the USG to distribute authorized technologies for monitization.

Again, Trump can stop the majority of day-to-day exploits. The NSA monitors everything and if they were directed to set up a stand alone stovepipe monitoring and protection division they could protect everyday Americans.

The USG is in the business of making money.

Google has in numerous pages a pop up ad that want everyone to safely store all passwords with them. To me that was just AOC grade stupid. I never fell for it.

I suspect this is one of the systems hacked, as all the fools that fell for this are now at risk.

About the same time this article’s breach happened, my browser warns me when I go to my hotmail account that it’s security certificate is not valid and that accessing it could leave me open to hacking. I have to bypass this warning to access email.

Anyone else feel unsafe going to Hotmail?

What they are not telling us is that the problem is not your password. The problem is the hidden spy/tracking cookies websites and domains use. It is themselves that gather information and then leak it from their own insecure systems. These hidden Spy/tracking Cookies need to be illegal period.

I get Kurt the CyberGuy’s daily newsletter, and he was saying this is HUGE. Apple put out an immediate alert with an update fix available. I checked my phone and it had already updated to iOS 18.5.

Here is the problem... when you land on the source page for this article these are the hidden spy scripts hitting your browser. And most of them follow you around the net wherever you go and collect log in credentials...

GOOGLE is the MAIN violator...

Which is why I use the vim editor's built-in encryption feature to store my passwords locally. I also use two-part passwords, with one standard "unguessable" prefix being the first several characters and the second unguessable characters being specific to the service. That way, if I needed to share my passwords, I could send a list of second half of my passwords over an untrusted channel and share the prefix using other means.

In fact, even when I store my password encrypted locally, I don't save the prefix. I just put in a placeholder like '{prefix}' in its place. I commit the prefix to memory and share it only by voice with the very few who may someday need it.

The browser's memorization of passwords can be an Achilles' heel. In fact, I think I'll stop using that browser feature altogether and just copy/paste from my local vim file to address that weakness.

I am a little bit skeptical that my Microsoft log in pass word has been exposed.

Hackers may be able to get my screen name or Hotmail account name.

But, direct Hacker access to log in pass words at Microsoft? I am skeptical.

Earlier reports on this massive hack said it involves a Third Party vendor.

If that is the case, than your MSFT log in password is probably completely safe.

As super computers and AI progresses, no passwords will be safe, just a matter of time.
