  1. So, can anyone tell me whether #Windows #Passkey is actually a good thing?

    Somehow the prompt keeps popping up for more and more websites/services, and frankly I'm having a hard time finding out whether it's either more secure or a security risk compared to having different passwords for each website or using two factor authentification.

  2. I had a person inform me that they support Facebook claiming they got the best security in the industry. But, yet they let hackers and cloners run on their infrastructure unimpeded while preventing legal owners of accounts from regaining access and suspending access to make a new accounts because you claim they violated your ToS. You won’t do the right thing, even after validating their Drivers License. That’s real security right there!!

  3. “Chinese don’t scam Chinese”

    China is cracking down on scam networks but mostly when Chinese citizens are the victims. The result isn’t less fraud globally, just a shift: scams targeting Americans and other foreigners have surged over 40% in the US within a year. The system adapts to pressure, protecting some while exposing others. The global scam economy continues growing, even as China reports domestic success. #Cybercrime #Geopolitics #OnlineSecurity
