Heard on All
Things Considered
And I'm Melissa Block.
Hacking - we often think of it happening to companies or governments, but
individuals can also be the targets; people like Matt Honan, a technology
writer whose computer and Internet accounts were hacked. He told his story on
MORNING EDITION, earlier today.
MATT HONAN :
You know, I lost a year and a half of pictures of my daughter; pictures of her
with her great-grandparents, who are now ______________, and just really - you know,
wonderful, _____________
memories that I'm really hoping I'll be able to get back.
BLOCK: The hackers used
security _____________
at Amazon and Apple, to obtain personal information about Honan .
Both companies say they're addressing the problems. NPR's Sonari Glinton looks
at some things you can do, to __________ yourself.
SONARI GLINTON, BYLINE:
I'm sitting here at my desk and, like most of you, I've got a ton of stuff - a
work cellphone, personal cellphone; I have a tablet; I've got a laptop
computer. And if I just count NPR's logins - and things like that - I have a
login for the network; I have a login for the travel ____________; I have a login for my
annual performance review. And each of these ____________, or logins, contain
really vital pieces of information that if you got a hold of, I'd be in _____________.
LANCE ULANOFF:
Essentially, what's happening here is, you're leaving yourself __________ -
your whole life open - to what I call triangulation.
GLINTON: Lance Ulanoff
is editor of Mashable.com, a technology website. He says the ____________ to
protect yourself, is to use _____________. Thing is, most of us are simply not
doing that.
ULANOFF: It's just
ridiculous that people are still creating their own passwords. They all - to a
person, I think they will admit, they're ____________ at it. And they don't even really
expend any effort on it.
GLINTON: Ulanoff says
the best way to deal with the password tangle is to use a software that ____________ and
stores passwords for you. Then you only need one, super-secure password. It's
not just _______________
to get strong passwords. Ulanoff says you have to change your ___________________.
ULANOFF: I hate to say
it but the reality is, they need to __________ a little less. They need to put a
little bit ________
information out there. You know, their Facebook pages, their MySpace pages,
their Twitter accounts - they're constantly sharing information, _______.
GLINTON: It's the
details that get you into trouble - your birthday and date; where you went to
grade school; posting photos of your ____________ while you're on vacation. Not a _____________.
IT professionals have been saying it for years but _____________ your data, back up
your data, back up your data. Ulanoff says, think about consolidating your
online presence.
ULANOFF: Oh, I'm still
on Friendster. Wait a minute, no one's still on Friendster. Well, I have an _____________ out
there - you know. They say oh, I'm still on MySpace. Really? You know - when
was the last time you visited? Five years ago. OK, it might be time to __________________.
GLINTON: You know
what's funny about that? I don't even know.
ULANOFF: (LAUGHTER)
Yeah. I mean, that's the big problem. There's ___________ debris everywhere. We
are leaving trails that go back years, now.
GLINTON: The final
thing is to use two-part authentication - something that you know, like a
password; and something that you have, like a thumbprint. Here's the thing
about doing all of this: _________________.
Whitson Gordon is
senior editor at LifeHacker.com. The site gives tips on using technology to
ease ______________.
WHITSON GORDON: Well,
unfortunately - you know - I can tell all of my friends to use separate
passwords, and use a password manager; enable two-factor authentication; but
it's really not _______________.
GLINTON: Gordon says
until now, most companies have been more ________________ make things easier, not
necessarily ________________.
GORDON: And I think
that a lot of them are realizing that security comes first, convenience comes
second, in this day and age; with people getting hacked, and identity theft
being so _____________.
And I think we're at the point where we're starting to realize how to be more ___________;
and now, we need to figure out how to make that more convenient for us, the
average user.
GLINTON: Gordon says
it's going to take a long time for the companies to figure out simple and safe ________________,
so don't hold your breath. Until then, back up your data.
