online security issues
Written by jason on June 14, 2008 – 7:36 pm -Hello All -
I wanted to report that I am currently having some online security issues. I believe that I may have been a victim of phishing (like an idiot)….they even had what appeared to be a valid SSL certificate.
The internet cafes here are pretty sketchy and i think my paypal may have been compromised.
Ihave taken all the neccessary precautions and have reset passwords on ALL of my accounts. I don’t believe they will take me for anything, but I am remaining very cautious. In that process,it seems that I may have locked out my gmail account. Please email me at jasonopdycke[at]dot[com] …or you can email cindi. I will let you all know when my gmail is back online.
For all the travelers out there…be very wary and careful with typing your password.
We have in our possession an IronKey. This thing is very sweet and I highly recommend using one. Basically you run an instance of Mozilla Firefox directly from the Ironkey flash drive. This means all your history, cookies, favorites, settings follow you and your drive. The ironkey also contains a password manager that allows you to pre-populate your usernames and passwords from a trusted computer and when visiting those sites from an untrusted comuputer, the ironkey password manager auto-fills the fields so you can avoid most keylogging. I am sure there are ways around this…bu definately more secure than typing our password. All data on the ironkey is encrypted with 256 bit encryption.
On a lighter note…cindi and I are doing fine….she was able to successfully clear her mask and swim maskless underwater. She was worried about this and I a very proud to say she scored a 4 out of 5. One step closer o divemasters!!
We also bought our first dive computers…exciting!!
take care all
