5 Ways you’re Putting your #cryptocurrency in Danger without even Knowing it

You can lose all your cryptocurrency for two reasons:A hacker is actively attacking youYou are a victim of collateral damage sparked by a bigger event: If any of the services you trust (the cryptocurrency exchange, the password manager, the browser) are being hacked, your data can become compromised and someone else can get access to your funds.If the second scenario happens, you might think that it’s not you who was responsible for that and you are not the only one affected so, under crowd pressure the affected platform will have no choice but to reimburse your loss. Well, say that to the 127,000 creditors processing claims against Mt. Gox. Do you think they will ever get back the $2.4 trillion (worth of #bitcoin) they lost when the exchange went bankrupt due to a 650,000 BTC hack?In (...)

KeeWeb is a password manager that is compatible with KeePass and is available for many platforms. I’ve been using it privately and professionally for several years. Today I’d like to introduce an brilliant feature that I’ve only recently discovered: Auto-Type. With Auto-Type you can automatically enter your credentials, no matter if it is a website or a desktop application. The nice thing is that you hardly have to do anything to configure Auto-Type in KeeWeb.How does Auto-Type work?Animations say more than 1000 words, therefore here a small GIF, which shows the functionality of Auto-Type (in the picture Check_MK):As the name suggests, KeeWeb automatically fills in the input fields and registers you. KeeWeb must be open (in the background).Configuring Auto-Type in KeeWebAuto-Type is (...)

Ad targeters are pulling data from your browser’s password manager - The Verge
▻https://www.theverge.com/2017/12/30/16829804/browser-password-manager-adthink-princeton-research

The researchers examined two different scripts — AdThink and OnAudience — both of are designed to get identifiable information out of browser-based password managers. The scripts work by injecting invisible login forms in the background of the webpage and scooping up whatever the browsers autofill into the available slots. That information can then be used as a persistent ID to track users from page to page, a potentially valuable tool in targeting advertising.

Mais il n’y a pas de voleurs sans complices :

For Narayanan, most of the blame goes to the websites who choose to run scripts like AdThink, often without realizing how invasive they truly are. “We’d like to see publishers exercise better control over third parties on their sites,” Narayanan says. “These problems arise partly because website operators have been lax in allowing third-party scripts on their sites without understanding the implications.”

Welcome back. Is that a new haircut? OK, now that you’ve changed all those passwords, tell me: how secure were your passwords? Can you even still remember them? If you’re using a password manager like LastPass, great — it will remember your passwords for you. It will even generate “high entropy” passwords, where the sun will burn out before someone could crack it (50-character strings of random letters, numbers, and symbols). But what about when you’re on your phone, or on someone else’s computer? Do you really want to install LastPass just to be able to log into LinkedIn on another device? Oh, and in case you missed it, LastPass got hacked recently. That’s right — even companies whose core value proposition is security can still get hacked. There are two types of companies: those who have been (...)
