| Embarrassing Hack of PayPal/iTunes Accounts Once Again Highlights the Weakness of Fixed Fasswords |
September 02nd, 2010
“The embarrassing hack of PayPal/iTunes accounts once again highlights the weakness of fixed passwords and shows how vulnerable these services are to attack. It is clear that hackers are using increasingly sophisticated methods to steal account details yet amazingly these high profile brands just seem to shrug their shoulders and simply ask users to change their password. This does nothing to prevent the same thing happening again in the future and keeps playing into the fraudsters hands.
“If these online service providers want to stay at the forefront of industry innovation they must look at implementing more secure, easy-to-use and cost effective solutions such as software-based one-time passcode systems, which help avoid the embarrassment caused by attacks such as this and the associated loss of user confidence. These systems ensure that …

| 9 Security & Privacy Features Safari has to Offer |
August 27th, 2010
Safari was the only browser available for Mac OS until a couple of years ago, and Apple released a Windows version only in 2007. That is not to say the browser isn’t good. It is. It was made by Apple to closely integrate with their Mac OS, so that already says something about its quality.
It looks great and it has enough features to compete with any current browser on the market. In fact it is number 3 by choice in North America (including Mac and PC computers; after Firefox and Chrome; we’re not counting the default installs of Internet Explorer) and is at a tie with Opera in the rest of the world.
Despite having the same security features as the rest of the browsers, it could be argued that it …

| 8 Security & Privacy Features Chrome has to Offer |
August 21st, 2010
Chrome is Google’s entrance to the web browsers world and answer to Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer, Opera and all the other browsers online. And it was a good thing that it was released, because the other software companies were getting lazy with the release of better versions and improved support for newer technologies. Yes, even Mozilla with their Firefox.
Chrome is currently the fastest browser available, mostly thanks to the implementation of the newest Javascript rendering engine. You will also have a hard time finding a more crash-proof browser, as Chrome runs every tab and window in a separate process, so if one crashes or becomes non-responsive, the others are not affected.
With the introduction of Chrome extensions, the only thing that keeps Firefox from being overthrown in popularity and user numbers …
