Thread regarding Oracle Corp. layoffs

A word to the wise

Just a quick post to those with linkedin, facebook and other accounts like that.

Turn on two-factor authentication. Someone was in my linkedin account a while back. I got a notice from linkedin and later realized someone had flipped a switch that I didn't even know existed.

It also appears to me, from searching the internet, that facebook accounts can be breached. What I read online indicates to me that they are not very secure.

Turn on 2 factor authentication. It's a really good idea. If your password is compromised, you can be sure they can't get into your account.

After my experiences, I no longer trust who I am talking to when connecting to other people with various accounts. You just never know. It's impossible to tell exactly who you are talking with.

Be careful out there everyone. I have seen some odd things happen account-wise.

If LinkedIn's 2FA is as bad as Oracle's internal 2FA, then no thanks. That is a POS homebrew system.

I work in IT, and I don’t set 2FA on any of my accounts. I don’t use any passwords managers. Set long and strong passwords. Set unique passwords. Use a mix of characters. This is the most important thing everyone must do to prevent account takeovers, and it is pretty strong strategy by itself. Everything else is secondary and not necessary. And if you forget your unique password for that account, just recover it using forgot password feature and set a new unique one.

And one other thought.... this is an anonymous website. There is absolutely no way to tell who is posting what.
