“The BBC highlighted a case where a mother got a terrifying call that sounded exactly like her teenage son, supposedly saying he was in danger. It wasn’t him. Scammers had cloned his voice.
“That’s where a family code word can help. If someone calls claiming a loved one has been hurt, arrested or needs money urgently, ask for the code word. A scammer may be able to fake a voice, but they probably don’t know your family secret.”
Good, but as I previously noted, not great.
“While password length requirements sometimes become ridiculous, they have a purpose. A longer password is harder to guess than a shorter one.
“Similarly, four safe words are harder to guess than a single one.
“Provided the words are unrelated. “The quick brown fox” is a terrible safe phrase.”
Oh, and a note on monetization. Originally I simply planned to comment on Rich DeMuro’s original post, but only paid subscribers could comment. Therefore I’m posting my thoughts on my own platform.
People reading Bredemarket are more interested in knowledge-based authentication (KBA) anyway.
And if your firm provides KBA and other identity factors—there are six factors, you know—then perhaps Bredemarket can help your firm with content-proposal-analysis services.
