This is true however a close read of the article you site would show that part of the reason that that hack is possible is because in our current paradigm the idea that someone would have completely forgotten their password. If pass phrases became more common then perhaps customer service reps would be able to be more skeptical of the social engineering ploy that was put to use in this scenario
- giantrobothead 13y agoPerhaps. Unfortunately, that's probably a pretty big "if".
- batoure 13y agoTrue but it would be interesting to see some data on how many over the phone password resets big service providers do on a day to day basis. That kind of data would at least be a litmus to invalidate the current paradigm.
- giantrobothead 13y agoI would like to see some numbers on that. Is it as pervasive as it seems, or are the ones that get through just dramatic enough to set people on edge?
