About

As promised, here is your Common Sense Security Blog.

I hope this place will become a common hangout for non-security folks who would like to protect themselves from crooks.  There is no 100% safety, but learning simple habits like authentication can help a lot. Those of you who heard my authentication talk or have been to my authentication workshops hopefully remember my motto, “Authentication each day keeps the fraudsters away.” Feel free to share your fraudster stories and ask questions. I will answer some quick questions here and will put in links for those of you who like facts, details and lots of information.
