6 Steps Consumers Should Take Following a Hack

Steve Zurier

Without the luxury of an IT security team to help them after a breach or credit card compromise, consumers will want to keep these tips in mind.

Corporate employees typically have IT departments and security teams available to them when a breach takes place. But what about the everyday consumer? 

Anybody can be hacked or have a credit card compromised. According to Liz Lasher, vice president of fraud, financial crime and cyber risk at FICO, consumers can prevent that from happening just by taking better care of their passwords. She points to the recently released FICO Consumer Digital Banking study, which found only 42% of Americans said they use separate passwords to access multiple accounts and only 23% use a password manager.

"Consumers can report their incidents to the authorities, but they are better off taking practical, proactive steps to improve security," Lasher advises.

With that in mind, we've compiled a list of tips that consumers can use in the event of a breach, along with how to prevent future attacks. These tips also apply to anyone who runs a small business, or rank-and-file factory and retail workers who don't have corporate expense account jobs and access to highly trained security pros.

Amazon Alexa event with new Microwave made Apple look slow

Amazon is the devil.

Amazon just showed how serious it is about owning the smart home — and made Apple look slow

Eugene Kim

Besides the seemingly endless number of new products introduced on Thursday, Amazon's launch event revealed two other things about the company: it is serious about owning the smart home space and is capable of running a more exciting event than Apple.

Amazon announced 15 new Alexa-enabled products on Thursday, including a microwave, a clock, an amplifier and car gadgets. The company also launched new services, like Alexa Hunches, which makes suggestions (such as to turn off your light at night) based on daily behavior.

The goal is to make the Alexa voice assistant more ubiquitous around the home.

Once considered an odd experiment, the Echo devices powered by Alexa have become the clear leader in the smart home market. And with all the new products rolled out on Thursday, it's evident that Amazon wants Alexa not just in your living room, but also in every bedroom, and even in the garage.

The potential reward is huge. The smart home market is expected to grow into a $53 billion industry by 2022, according to Zion Market Research. With Amazon taking an early lead in this space, it could open up a massive new revenue channel for the company going forward. The new microwave and amplifier bring Amazon into the home appliance and entertainment system space for the first time.

But perhaps the bigger revelation was Amazon's ability to generate excitement around its hardware launch. The rapid-fire event, which featured the introduction of 15 new products over 90 minutes, created consistent oohs and ahhs, with the microwave oven sparking the most interest.

It was hard not to contrast the reaction with Apple's big annual iPhone event held last week. Apple introduced only three new phones and a watch in about the same period of time, and the company continues to have a limited product set, with most of the details leaking out well ahead of time. (Not that Apple shareholders are complaining, given how many iPhones Apple continues to sell.)

TELL us about your best friends, we said. And you did.

From all over Westchester, letters poured in. Stories of friends made in kindergarten and in college, at work and at the shore. Tales of friendships forged through marriage: husbands and wives, mothers-in-law and sons-in-law. Stories of friendships that have lasted whole lives, whether the writer was 9 years old or 90.

There was simply not room for everyone's story. But here is a sampling chosen by editors of the Westchester section. We're pleased to introduce you to some very special people and their very special friends.

Elyssa has the most amazing eyes. They are a brilliant blue, full of merriment and have dark pools of thought in the centers. When they look deeply into mine, I feel an unexplainable warmth and comfort, which immediately heals any internal pain. Sometimes I wonder why all people can't be like her; everyday I think she must be an angel in disguise.

We met up in second grade. Elyssa and I were both a bit funny looking and kind of strange. Elyssa wore these hideous pink, purple and green glasses and rolled-up jeans, Steve Urkel style. I myself wasn't the prettiest pea in the pod. I remember I always wore this disgusting oversize sweat suit with my gigantic T-shirt hanging out the edge. I had shaggy bangs because I was in the process of growing them out. Looking back at that year, I wonder what kind of pair we made.

You see, I probably wasn't the greatest friend during our early friendship years. I wasn't there for her as she was for me. Elyssa was basically the only one who got me up when I was down. Whenever I was in doubt about myself, she was there to convince me otherwise. If I had done something wrong, she would say it wasn't my fault. Whenever I felt sad or depressed, she could list all the good things about me. But I took all this for granted. All of it.

Today I realize Elyssa has been my best friend ever since I met her. She has brought sunshine to my face, even on rainy days, and has dried my tears even when her own have been overflowing. I didn't know it until a year or two ago, but Elyssa is the best friend I never thought existed. And she will be, forever.

(Not that Apple shareholders are complaining, given how many iPhones Apple continues to sell.)

When it comes to the smart home, Apple hasn't shown much of late, leaving many unanswered questions around how its HomePod device and Siri voice assistant will compete with Amazon's products.

Investors are bullish on both — they're the two most valuable companies in the world. But Amazon has been rapidly catching up, with the stock doubling in the past year, while Apple has gained 41 percent.

Abhaxas Dumps Details of the Internal Florida Voting Database Online

Election fraud and accusations of rigged voting might be as old as US election systems themselves, but some may wonder, if a hacker can gain access to the election voting system, how secure are elections anyway?

Drew WilsonJuly 2, 2011

Note: This is an article I wrote that was published elsewhere first. It has been republished here for archival purposes

The AntiSec movement is definitely rolling along, but Anonymous is pointing to a recent hack that could raise some serious questions over the integrity of voting in Florida. It seems that a hacker who uses Twitter obtained parts of the Florida voting database which has been subsequently posted to Paste2. It appears that the hacker in question wanted to show that voting fraud can easily happen today and dumped parts of the Florida database to prove it. From the comments of the release:

So, this is a little ironic. Here is inside details of florida voting systems. Now.. who still believes voting isn't rigged? If the United States Government can't even keep their ballot systems secure, why trust them at all? FAIL!

The content was tweeted, "Who believes voting isn't tampered with?"

It's the latest in a long string of hacks since LulzSec was disbanded. Previously, the Arizona Police Force had details leak about them not once, not twice, but three times. In another leak, the AntiSec movement leaked details of Viacom and Universal Music along with content from various government servers.

This latest hack clearly demonstrates that Anonymous isn't the only organization that is doing the hacking these days. One thing is for sure though, it's hard to imagine that this would not have very big political implications.

The term "uncertainty" has become a buzzword as we navigate a new normal—practicing social distancing, adjusting to working remotely, supporting our kids as they begin online classes, and searching stores for toilet paper or disinfecting wipes. However, enduring unexpected challenges is not a new concept, especially for those of us who regularly adventure outdoors. Almost every trip into the backcountry has some kind of uncertainty and adversity, and the skills you learned there can apply to today's frontcounty.

Prepare documents RFC dependency checker Joe Touch A script to check the references in Internet Drafts for dependencies and updates. Bibtex Citation Converter Yaron Sheffer This tools converts bibtex-formatted citations into the bibxml format used in xml2rfc. Many (if not most) academic papers have bibtex citations available online, and the tool makes it easier to reference them in Internet Drafts. Draft HTML and PDF from XML source Julian Reschke A set of XSLT transformations that can be used to transform RFC2629-compliant XML (see RFC 2629) to various output formats, such as HTML and PDF Templates for xml2rfc work Elwyn Davies Elwyn Davies has produced a template as a starting point for writing drafts using xml2rfc. You can find a copy of the schema v3 version of the XML template at tools.ietf.org. Draft Submission API Henrik Levkowetz A simplified draft submission interface, intended for automation, is available at https://datatracker.ietf.org/api/submit". The interface accepts only xml uploads which can be processed on the server, and requires the user to have a datatracker account. A successful submit still requires the same email confirmation roundtrip as submissions done through the regular submission tool. BibXML to Markdown Converter Yaron Sheffer This simple script, bibxml2md, converts bibxml references extracted from xml2rfc files into markdown, for use in kramdown-rfc2629 Internet Drafts. License File for Open Source Repositories IESG Many working groups work with open source repositories, even for their work on specifications. The IESG has made a boilerplate text available for inclusion in repositories, available at the URL above. Write RFCs using wiki-style markup ('markdown') Miek Gieben Pandoc2rfc (see RFC 7328) uses Markdown in combination with Make and XSLT scripting to produce internet-drafts in XML format from plain text input. The plain text only needs a few formatting conventions, more or less like wiki markup. See also these OSX installation tips. Draft Submission Henrik Levkowetz The New Internet Draft Submission Tool replaces the older Draft Submission Tool and the even older email submission workflow, and lets an author submit a new or updated draft through a webpage, and have it appear in the archives immediately. Writing Internet-Drafts using Microsoft Word Joe Touch Use Microsoft Word or .doc-compatible editors to edit Internet Drafts. Word is a WYSIWYG editor that runs on Windows and Mac OSes, with an open-source variant (OpenOffice) that runs on Linux. This method is documented in RFC 5385 based on a template , using a post-processing Perl script. Convert nroff for drafts and RFCs to RFC2629 format XML This is a first release of nroff2xml. The tool is able to get nroff source and generate xml based on it. The output XML has well formed sections, paragraphs, and external references. The output can be successfully processed with xml2rfc. The author is not going to develop this further, as it's served its initial purpose in converting the .nroff source for RFC3315 to xml; other people are however very welcome to pick this up and refine it. A configuration for editing xml2rfc-format documents in XXE Bill Fenner , Warren Kumari This is a WYSIKN (What You See Is Kinda Neat) addon for the very configurable XMLMind XML Editor ("xxe"). The personal version of xxe is free and very capable. The addon is capable of graphical editing of sections, anchors, lists, cross-references, etc. and allows word processor-like behavior of "enter" to create a new paragraph or list item. More info in the README. Draft TXT and HTML from XML source (xml2rfc) Henrik Levkowetz xml2rfc will allow you to take your XML source (using the format defined in RFC 2629 and its unofficial successor) and generate well-formatted text and html versions of drafts from it. Version 2 of xml2rfc is a complete rewrite in Python. It is available for installation from the Python Package Index (PyPi): https://pypi.python.org/pypi/xml2rfc/ There's a tutorial available on how to install from PyPi, or if you're impatient you can try the following commands on the command line:   pip install xml2rfc if that fails:   easy_install pip   pip install xml2rfc if that fails, go to the tutorial above. Edit IDs in .nroff with wysiwyg display Stefan Santesson NroffEdit is a Java application for writing and editing Internet Draft files using the nroff format. This application lets you load any I-D nroff file, which will be shown processed in the right-hand window, and can be edited in the left-hand window. Write Internet-Drafts using the LyX Editor. Nico Williams , Yaron Sheffer Use lyx2rfc togeter with LyX to edit Internet-Drafts. LyX is an open source WYSIWYM GUI editor that runs on all major operating systems. Currently lyx2rfc outputs XML, text, and HTML, but only runs on Linux. Write RFCs using asciidoc markup Ronald Tse Asciidoctor-rfc is a tool that allows writing Internet-Drafts using AsciiDoc as an alternative to Kramdown / MMark or manual RFC XML. AsciiDoc is a widely-adopted textual format. Similar to Markdown, it is simple to write and easy to understand, but its major benefit is for being a structured format that directly converts into DocBook XML. Fix document spacing. Henrik Levkowetz Fix up the spacing between sentences to use two spaces. (This is a small script written in awk). Check internet-drafts for submission nits Henrik Levkowetz Use idnits to check that your draft has the desired formatting, boilerplate, references consistency and more. Run a spelling-check on your internet-draft Henrik Levkowetz Idspell uses an IETF-specific wordlist built from the last 2 years' published RFCs, surnames of recent I-D authors and some manually added words. Draft HTML and PDF from XML source Julian Reschke A set of XSLT transformations that can be used to transform RFC2629-compliant XML (see RFC 2629) to various output formats, such as HTML and PDF. For more information, see the documentation. Draft Diff Tool Henrik Levkowetz When looking at updated drafts, you want a diff with the previous draft which ignores changing page layout and moved page headers and footers. Online version is at http://tools.ietf.org/rfcdiff and source at http://tools.ietf.org/tools/rfcdiff/rfcdiff Add bcp14 markup to XML draft source Joe Touch Run this script in order to add <bcp14> elements around BCP 14 key words (MUST, SHOULD, etc.) in the XML source for an Internet-Draft. Usage: simple-bcp-fix.pl file1.xml > file2.xml Known defect: there may be stray elements in comments, sourcecode, and artwork. Templates for MIB Documents David B. Harrington The MIB Doctors have produced three templates specifically aimed at drafts containing MIB modules: • The first is an XML template for editors that use XML2RFC. Some advice echoing guidelines from RFC4181 is embedded in comments. • A second template is a text template for MIB documents with advice embedded in the document. • A third template is a plain text template with no advice included. Validate XML input for XML2RFC Bill Fenner Performs many checks on an XML input document, verifying both XML welformedness and many other issues specific to document processing through xml2rfc.
