Its hard to believe that two online giants would face any
\ntype of issues, especially ones involving security and consumer
\nsatisfaction. <\/span>Just a few days ago, both
\nApple and Amazon faced a serious security
\nbreach<\/a> due to a hacking of reporters iCloud
\naccount<\/a>. This breach did not just call for new passwords, but a whole new
\napproach to online security. In Honans very detailed blog<\/a>,
\nhe takes some responsibility for this hacking because he had all of this accounts
\ndaisy-chained together. What is also quite frightening is that most consumers
\nlink their accounts together for convenience as well, making this crime open to
\nanyone. Honans data on this iPhone, iPad, Macbook, AppleID, gmail, and Twitter
\nwere all tamper with or completely erased. This is where the real damaged happened
\nAmazon gave out a partial credit card number that Apple later asked for, for
\nauthentication. Happy hacking.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This seems to be a reoccurring problem that is only getting
\nworse in terms of the type of information hackers are taking. Some bloggers and
\nindustry experts believe that Googles Two-Factor
\nauthentication<\/a> will prevent hacking of gmail accounts by requiring
\nsomething you know and something you have. While the concept around this
\nimplementation is on the right track, will it really work? And even if it
\nworks, will people actually use it? Even though the feature is well thought out
\naround situations where you may not have that something with you, there seems
\nto be a major gap. What if a hacker knows<\/em>
\nyour password and has<\/em> your phone?<\/em>ID verification is coming more popular
\nas a means of fraud
\nprevention<\/a> but its the authentication that is key. The best type of authentication<\/a>
\nis created based off valid information to create questions and answers that
\nonly the true identity holder would know. With social media outlets and other
\ninformation sharing sites, questions like Where did you go to high school?
\nare no longer effective. That type of information is fairly easy to find on the
\nInternet. To better protect your consumers and your reputation, implement
\nidentity verification and authentication into your companys online security
\nmeasures.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
