customers. One such attack happened to the security company RSA when their SecurID tokens were compromised. This paper will examine how RSA SecurID token technology works, how the RSA company network was breached, what information was stolen, and the impacts that resulted from the initial attack. RSA is a security division, which specializes in computer and network security, of the parent company known as EMC. The company is most known for their SecurID tokens which are used in two-factor authentication

access to IT resources. Users of these mobile devices can be authenticated by the use of passwords or hardware token devices and both password and hardware one-time password (OTP) in most cases. Generally, while the use of passwords are inexpensive, they are thought to be a relatively insecure form of security. Hardware OTPs, on the other hand, tend to be a more secure form of security, but are more expensive and may also be susceptible to more advanced attacks, such as the man-in-the-middle (MITM)

Security Problems in the Hospitality Industry: In the realm of credit card fraud, online gambling sites, payday lending outfits and multilevel marketing companies wear the label of ‘high-risk merchants’. However with an estimated 38 percent of all credit card fraud stemming directly from the hospitality industry, disproportionately high compared to other sectors of multilevel marketing, hotels have earned themselves the unwelcome ‘high-risk merchant’ tag. In the US for instance, in 2014, hotels

On March 31, 2016, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) started a nationwide campaign to warn against the dangers faced by the U.S. utilities against the cyberattacks. According to DHS, there were an estimated 331 hacks or physical attacks against the U.S. power grid from 2011 to 2014. As of February 2016, they are occurring at a rate of once every 4 days. “A major cyberattack on the U.S. electric grid could cause over $1 trillion in economic

our data and documents from hackers .it is very easy for hackers to hack our data. .There is different authentication scheme to provide security to our data like TEXTUAL PASSWORD ,GRAPHICAL PASSWORD , BIOMETRICS. But current authentication scheme are suffering from many weaknesses. 3D Password authentication scheme is combination of RECOGINATION , RECALL , TOKENS , BIOMETRICS. 3D Passwords is more secure way of authentication and it is more interesting way, because it present a VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT

Living in the World of Warcraft The Rookery is a section of Upper Blackrock Spire that, back in 2005, was notoriously easy to screw up. The room is littered with dragon eggs. Touching an egg causes it to hatch. There are dragons within the Rookery that intentionally hatch eggs as part of an event called Father Flame. If a players group broke one egg, it was likely to break more and in ones group 's panic to kill the whelps it hatched, things would get a little chaotic and inevitably a group would

A guide to evaluating voice and SMS API providers for two-factor authentication solutions Introduction Today, users of online services are very familiar with the process of typing in a username and password, to securely access their accounts. Passwords however, are no longer considered very safe, as they can be easily stolen, sniffed, guessed, or obtained through methods such as phishing and malware attacks. Even strong and complicated passwords are susceptible to theft and therefore not the best

of Data Security Technology is constantly changing, leading us to adapt to its innovation. However, one aspect of technology has stood the test of time for a long time. Passwords as a form of authenticating and securing your digital accounts have not budged much. But with the rise of cybercrime, it seems the old way of doing things is finally having to pave way for something new: two-factor authentication. But what is two-factor authentication and why is it the future of data security? How does
