Did you know that it is becoming a fairly popular "sport" to video tape colleagues passwords with a cell phone?
We didn't want to motivate you to commit fraud - therefore we have provided a video for your entertainment:
Can you tell, what password the lady is typing?
If not - playback in slow motion will help!

Everybody
has Access to your DATA!!!
So
far most companies are using insecure passwords to
protect access to PC's or User Profiles...
Recently,
the French Bank, Societe Generale, lost 7.2 Billion (Yes
- Billion with a "B" due to poor IT security.
A trader stole passwords from his coworkers and logged
on with their user ID's to conduct trades in their
names. A special committee at the French Bank has recommended the bank should immediately introduce stronger security systems, including biometric authentication, to prevent a recurrence.

The
white-collar crime is the fastest growing crime and co-workers and
disgruntled employees have many motivations to cause
damages or increase their wealth.
The first thing they do before taking any illegal action
is to get access to another
colleague’s user profile for extended access - as
demonstrated at the French Bank - so
that they can blame another person if the fraud is
detected. Computer have been
in use since 1963 and so have passwords. Everything has
changed on the computer since 1963 - except the
outdated, insecure way, we are attempting to protect the
access to it!

The California State University, Fullerton has researched 20 ways to get somebody else's password. Paul

University is leading the research project and has been
featured in an SAP TV movie about Sarbanes-Oxley and

Prof.
Paul Sheldon Foote about Passwords:
|
Kenneth
"Pete" Gunn about Passwords:
|
|
"Finding
passwords on a person's desk, telephoning to ask for a
password, packet sniffing, phishing, spoofed
(fraudulent) websites, phone phishing, pharming, and
vishing are only some of the successful techniques for
password fraud. The end of an era of corporate
contributory negligence will arrive when corporate
leaders accept the responsibility of implementing
multiple biometric authentication protocols."
|
"Seize
the moment and go forward with biometric
technology. That is the way of the future, because
current systems where you have to develop a pin or
a password - that is too expensive and too cumbersome
and it is a major weak spot in the security
makeup."
