Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Jennifer Lawrence incident in 2014 was a reminder that the same thing could have happened to any of us, and that our cloud services may not always be ours to control. #2 The simplest way to protect your online accounts is to simply automate the process. There are several digital password managers out there that store your passwords and allow you to access them with a single click. #3 The first step in protecting your passwords is to have a strong passphrase, not a password. A passphrase should be at least 20 to 25 characters long, and should not be made up of random characters. #4 The passwords you type in are not the same as the hashes that are stored in the protected memory of your computer. The hashes are a sequence of numbers and letters that represent your password. The passwords themselves are stored in the protected memory of your computer, and can be obtained from a compromise of targeted systems or leaked in data breaches.
