The Hacking of Matt Honan

8/7/2012

 
Picture
A chilling story of how writer Matt Honan's digital world tumbled like a chain of dominoes when a hacker wanted to seize control of his Twitter account.  Matt is a writer for Wired Magazine who recently had his Google, Amazon, and Twitter accounts hijacked and all of the data on his iPad, iPhone, and Macbook erased. 

It exposes the weaknesses of current internet security protocols on major sites that we trust with our data and virtual lives and the fragility of these systems.  It also stresses how important it is to have MULTIPLE backups of our personal files: more than one backup, in different places and on different media.
