Millennial Habits May Bring an End to the Password Era. (Group 11 cont.)

# data[].attributes.body
To add to the discussion involving weak passwords and the generational difference in security preference, the article states that millenials often trade security for convenience when it comes to creating a password. The author touches on the main factors that go into performing authentication, such as what you know, are, have, or do. One form of authentication that's grown due to the millenial changes and use of mobile phones is the use of phone numbers as a form of authentication, where you can receive texts with special pins that give you access to your accounts. The summary of this all and why it's important to be informed about it is that change is in the hands of the younger generations,  and with biometric authentication forms becoming more popular, we all have to be prepared for changes and developments as passwords lose significance.

T-Mobile bug exposed personal customer data (Quincy Osborne)

T-Mobile bug exposed personal customer data (Quincy Osborne)

# data[].attributes.body
Back in April of this year, Ryan Stevenson, a security researcher, became aware of and reported a vulnerability in T-Mobile's website that allowed for unauthorized viewing of customers' personal information. This included customers' names, billing account information, references to account PINs, and, in some cases, even tax identification numbers. The vulnerability was patched in a day, but I wonder how long it was sitting undetected. My reasons for choosing this particular article was simply because I'm a T-Mobile customer. It piqued my interest to know that this happened, and I was completely unaware of it. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for things like this in the future.

Wake-up call: T-Mobile breach reportedly affects 2 million customers (Group 1: Tyler Orr, Nate Orolfo, Jessie Reddish)

# data[].attributes.body
On August 30th, attackers were able to breach T-mobile's security and made away with sensitive customer information. This information included physical addresses, passwords, account numbers and plan types. This information would allow an individual to possibly get through T-mobile's customer service line far enough to make changes or change ownership of the customers' phone plans, as well as to port and clone phone numbers.

Though the breach was brief and the amount of information gathered was limited (less than 2% of T-mobile's entire customer base was affected), any passwords used with T-mobile that are shared with other services are now compromised which can lead to breaches of other accounts. This can enable attackers to harvest even more personal information and can lead to even larger problems and possible monetary damage.

Our group chose this article to illustrate how the current password paradigm puts people's personal information at risk and how a switch to multifactor or preferably biometric authentication would allow your everyday person who knows little about their online security to be less of a victim from these attacks. In addition, there would be less of an impact on people's confidence in T-mobile as a company if they knew that the stolen information would be only a small piece of the larger puzzle attackers would need to construct to do real damage to their accounts.

Piscataway man gets 18-year prison term for identity theft (Pitou Huot)

# data[].attributes.body
The article talks about a Piscataway man who has been sentenced to 18 years in state prison for stealing the identities of two people and pocketing more than $25,000 for personal use.
His name is Hakim Nelson. He is 32 years old. For his crime, Nelson was convicted by a jury on June 14, 2018 following a two-week trial in New Brunswick. He was also found guilty of all 12 counts of the indictment which included charges of identity theft.
This article is related to chapter 2 about identity theft which discussed how a person's identity can be stolen, also known as identity theft. As the Identity Theft movie trailer in the ID & Authentication Presentation discussed, identity theft is big problem for victims.

Millennial Habits May Bring an End to the Password Era.

# data[].attributes.body
The article talks about how millennials are impacting the password era. It goes into detail about their password habits and what organizations can do to enhance poor password choices.
I do think that having to remember longer more intricate passwords leads to some users opting to reuse identical passwords across multiple logins since it is easier for the user. This intern leads to the users becoming more susceptible to security threats.
I believe that the whenever the demand for a more secure, easier to use method becomes a necessity due to the vulnerabilities with the use of typed passwords, passwords will eventually become obsolete.

Back in April, many peoples MyEtherWallets login information was compromised by a Man In the Middle attack in which a specialized router at an ISP was used to gain controls of an Amazon DNS to reroute IP's to phishing sites. This article is worth sharing to show even if you have top of the line security, like Amazon, the security of the partners you work with is paramount to maintaining a safe environment as they could be responsible for something you considered secure when setting up security.

I don't personally use this app, however I know many people that do. I do use other messaging and social media apps however.

This article spurs some anxiety in me due to the fact that we automatically trust the fact that who we think we are messaging and getting messages from is the same. This proves that that trust might not be sound. Most of us wouldn't think to try and authenticate the person we are speaking to, unless the person is asking unusual questions or something out of the ordinary.
However, if the conversation is close to normal, we would never second guess and give away potentially hazardous information.

In this article, British Airways was attacked for personal and financial information of people booking with their company online. Although passport or booking information was allegedly left alone, it is a severe threat that information that could severely impact a user's credit was being stolen. In cases like this, it is not uncommon that many other victims will be found after the initial awareness and correction of the situation. As college students or business people, we must realize that we are in a threat of this happening to us at any time. Just as students here at Santa Fe College, we use global transportation for our study abroad trips.

We are taught about how to protect our passport and personal information overseas, but it is much more uncommon to be informed about online purchases and the risks that are involved with putting personal data online, even on secure sites. Hackers can infiltrate our bank accounts, bill pay with companies, and even our travel plans. Information that can be placed online in exchange for goods and services is a constant threat. As security rises, so do the skills of hackers that want to use our personal information for their own gains.

As these attacks become more prevalent and complicated, it's important for consumers to protect themselves by taking a proactive stance when it comes to their security. Ensuring that the site's you're visiting are legitimate, controlling access to your data and being sure not to share credentials, intentionally or through accidental negligence, and being mindful of where and how you're sending your data goes a long way to protecting yourself.

Aside from being proactive about protecting your data, you can take other steps to better identify if your personal information has been compromised. Many financial institutions offer free credit monitoring and alerts. Free credit reports are available on an annual basis at http://annualcreditreport.com/

, and keeping track of not only your open credit accounts but any credit inquiries can help you more rapidly identify potentially fraudulent activities made on your behalf. Beyond protecting your financial assets and liabilities, a growing number of online services, including Google and Facebook, allow you to monitor account activity. Taking the safety of your data into your own hands is the best way of protecting yourself.

Companies are expected to be able to protect consumer’s personal information and data but that isn’t always possible. When a company’s data is breached no matter the software the process of containing the breach is more or less the same and that also goes for the British Airway breach. Following the risk management process of identifying assets, identifying threats, Assessing Vulnerabilities, assessing risk and migrating risk tries to contain the risk but as we saw with the British Airways incident that this doesn’t protect everyone’s data but this protects what hasn’t been compromised yet. After the post incident activity phase it’s important that the company notify every consumer that had their personal data was compromised or thought it might be compromised and tell them how this will affect them.

Wargames where a couple of kids hack into a DoD computer used Passwords. The film came out in 1983 before the computer age predicted the widespread use of passwords and their vulnerabilities. Other Movies such as Diamonds Are Forever, Demolition Man, and Minority Report show to use of biometrics technologies. Amazon, Alexa, and Apple have devices that can identify speech. Soon they maybe able to use voiceprint recognition such at HAL from 2001, A Space Odyssey. Voiceprint might make for a secure authentication system since vocal tone is a bit different from person to person.

A Info Security team in Vietnam created a mask worth about $150 that beats the new iPhone face recognition. They use a combo of 3D printing, makeup, 2D silicone nose model to make the mask. They say even if it doesn’t look as real to the human eye, it is enough to trick the iPhone. Even right now it is expensive and time consuming on a massive scale, it should be looked into for the future.
