All, I just got a nice box from Google explaining that there was suspicious account activity from Mexico (I live in Amsterdam). I changed my password, enabled two-factor authentication using their iPhone app and use app-specific passwords.
Also, I changed ALL passwords of all online services I use to new, unique ones. My guess: it took one malicious web page, even though I am up-to-fate with every component.... Anyway, if your a GMail user I strongly suggest switching to their two-factor authentication (meaning that you provide a uniquely generated number every time you login). I mean... if it can happen to a careful user like me who used to work on identity management - it literally can happen to anyone. I knew that - but I did change all my passwords and checked my credit card view (which is luckily "live") after the adrenalin rush. Just thought to share the experience. We all read the horror stories, I can confirm them now first-hand (though little damage has been done so far AFAIK). 1) use unique passwords per service 2) use two factor authN on Google - it's a great add-on to the service --Maarten _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
