So I was checking my bank balance online Friday night and noticed something odd. When I put in my password, it was visible — instead of a bunch of dots. I don’t know a whole lot about computer security, but I know enough to know that’s not a good thing, so I never pressed “enter.” I tried for about 15 minutes and finally got the dots back, but it made me suspicious. I called my bank this morning and talked to one of their IT people, who seemed to think I was eccentric but promised to look into it.
And then I read this.
I just roll my eyes anymore when some IT jock talks with certainty about anything.
