But it's not necessarily that bad, and here's why: Password Limits on Banks Don't Matter That very first tweet touched on the first reason why it doesn't matter: banks aggressively lock out accounts being brute forced. However, after 3 attempts of entering an Access Code your account will be blocked. Any thoughts?

This is especially true of members who are transitioning from other careers such as accounting or electrical engineering. Fortunately, the BCA’s Operation Real World Experience bootcamp helps train up-and-coming professionals to be workforce-ready by teaching them the discipline of ethical hacking.

It’s no surprise that both hacking groups have made their presence felt. In 2017, Sandworm infiltrated Ukrainian accounting software MeDoc and hijacked the company’s update mechanism which resulted in malicious software being introduced to copies of the MeDoc software used by its customers. We’d love to hear what you think.

Although this does take time, with training and upskilling programs , insightful workshops, and “Hacker Fridays” (where employees can try to hack a specific smart device), team members will become more capable of dealing with the new diagnostics support work, as well as any general IoT problems.

Which brings us back to Aadhaar and some rather unpleasant headlines of late, particularly the likes of The World's Largest Biometric ID System Keeps Getting Hacked. They claim that they're hack-proof. But claiming the service is "hack-proof", that's something I definitely have an issue with. Can you prove otherwise?

It was being sold for 5 Bitcoins: That's over US$80k in today's money but back then, it was only a couple of grand (which actually, seems like pretty good value for 167 million accounts and passwords stored as unsalted SHA1 hashes). When I run workshops , at the end of the second day I like to talk about automating security.

Let's start by looking at this from a philosophical standpoint: But here’s the bigger philosophical question: the device still worked fine with the native app, should @TPLINKUK be held accountable for supporting non-documented use cases? The attacker would have to be on your wi-fi network to do the hack.

I met up again with him a few years later when I went to a writer's workshop -- but that’s another story. It’s about challenging our expectations of people who hack for a living. So the attacker is going to get into the accounting systems to manipulate the data. Yeah, there’s red teams.

Here we have this absolute cornerstone of security - a paradigm that every single person with an online account understands - yet we see fundamentally different approaches to how services handle them. When I run my Hack Yourself First workshop , that's one of the first questions I ask - "what's the correct minimum password length?"

It also created a forced savings plan for us; money in real estate is not "liquid" so you can't readily draw it out of a savings account on a whim and loans need to be paid on time each month or banks start getting cranky.

Capital One’s announcement of a hack that affected more than 100 million people should have you asking not what, but who’s in your wallet. Bob from accounting goes on vacation with his laptop, and the next thing you know, millions of customers get hacked. Ever heard about a tortoise getting hacked?

There aren’t any corroborating accounts of this scoop so far, but it is both fascinating and terrifying to look at why threats to the global technology supply chain can be so difficult to detect, verify and counter.
