2016 Reality: Lazy Authentication Still the Norm is an article written by Brian Krebs in mid December talking about his experience with Paypal not doing what they should in protecting his account from being taken over. While I’ve not had any issues with Paypal this is not acceptable, and in 2016, I predict it is just going to get worse. In our upcoming podcast 234 in our security segment with John, we talk about a potential breach and I think I’ve got a solution which may not be easy to implement, but we did discuss it. How about a voice recognition component which we do with the automated system which logs the attempt as successful or failed based on a recording we do lets say with a representative who must set it up. This could prevent something like this if done right, but I just don’t know how we can do this and may never be done. This could be something to discuss, don’t you think?
