For as many people who people already post vitriolic poo poo under their real names on facebook and twitter with no shame, I think unmasking the people who hide behind an alias wouldn't stop their posting and just polarize everything further.

Well if we didn't live in a theocratic poo poo hole where gullible idiots are given their thoughts to think as soon as you use the right phrase (in this case 'ZOMG MARK OF THE BEASST RAAAAAAAAH) we could probably have a national identification number that wasn't tied to your financial information and it wouldn't be as bad to use it for ID purposes but hey what the gently caress do I know I'm just a snowflake liberal commie.

i'm okay with there not being a registry for people who want to use social media. just end social media. it cuts out the ethical gray area of such a registry.

Wherein Trump’s team learns the lesson that every college student learns when they first start smoking weed: you don’t get to claim the police’s searches and seizures are unlawful when you voluntarily gave consent to search and they found your stash.

Identity theft would be a nonissue if you could just pick up an RSA keypair with your drivers license but good loving luck training the public on that or keeping the "zomg mark of the beast" crowd from shooting you

People are going to severely underestimate their risk due to heuristics. In the face of complexity and lacking technical depth they will just shut down and assume McCaffery and Kaspersky will be good enough to protect them because of the label. This applies to everything, people will listen to their trusted source for information (Fox News) and accept it as truth due to the complexity involved.

Bruce "the human meerkat" Schneier wrote a book about that. We can technically be killed by anyone walking by us on the street (or even more so, driving by us), but by trusting them not to, we can all cooperate more easily and get much more done as a society. But the more trusting and trustworthy a society is, the more advantage goes to the rarer untrustworthy people. Or news networks.

But the more trusting and trustworthy a society is, the more advantage goes to the rarer untrustworthy people. Or news networks. That's a different aspect concerning, I think, game theory. We were trying to figure out how to sell cybersecurity to the masses. Turns out its really hard to overcome such a wall of ignorance. The aspect I was looking at was the work done by Kahneman and Tversky. Michael Lewis' latest book is about them if you want the simple version, or read Thinking Fast and Slow by Kahneman.

After years of working in this industry I can tell you that selling people on cybersecurity is like selling people on improving their health to prevent type II diabetes. They're all about it until you tell them they have to make a change.

I recently caught my dad trying to "synchronize" all of his passwords, logins and whatnot between his phone, tablet, and PC. This isn't something that i'd feel comfortable with, but hell, there are apparently programs that make poo poo like that a little less blatantly negligent than it is. But of course, he wasn't using a password database. He was using Wunderlist. He said it was safe, because he "hid" the icon for the app on his phone, so any phone thief wouldn't "find" the app.  There are hundreds of millions of folks like my old man out there.

Using something like this with 2 factor authentication is perfectly fine. Having to manage too many individual passwords means you're likely to reuse the same password and make it too simplistic.

On a related note about billionaires doing whatever they loving please, the DEA had enough evidence to nail McKesson, the country’s biggest pharmacy company with $200 billion in annual revenue, for ignoring and abetting blatantly illegal content at some of its warehouses and distribution centers. This includes not flagging repeat huge orders of Vicodin to small-rear end pharmacies and trying to cover its tracks. In the end, the company’s lawyers settled with the DEA and DOJ for a fraction of the $1 billion fine that government lawyers had been angling for. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/mckesson-dea-opioids-fine/2017/12/14/ab50ad0e-db5b-11e7-b1a8-62589434a581_story.html

Having to manage too many individual passwords means you're likely to reuse the same password and make it too simplistic. The whole keychain slash password generator is an interesting intersection. On one hand as long as your keychain (my phone in this case) isn't compromised then the increased security from unique randomly-generated strings with solid criteria is huge. On the other hand, someone cracks your phone and you're hosed.

In the sense of risk, however, it's far less likely that someone cracks your phone/keychain than it is that someone steals a password from one website/application which you also use elsewhere.
