The Smoothwall knowledgebase has never heard of iPad or iPhone :-/ I must say though the knowledgebase is incredibly poor.

We find it harder to see perhaps because we instinctively understand the issues, but there's a lot of people out there "fixing" IT problems, or providing new systems which aren't up to standard. How much in IT is clients asking the impossible, how much plain incompetence and how much is malice?Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07976045142246142078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8507382315274482472.post-85033682697234671842011-02-03T12:54:44.806+00:002011-02-03T12:54:44.806+00:00I really like the "social authentication"...I really like the "social authentication" idea. IT protects well against remote and unknown attackers, so will help reduce instances of accounts being phished. Of course it will be much less successful against attackers who know the victim, but it's still a great tool - not one i'd ever use to replace a password, or allow access to lost passwords though.<br /><br />I wonder if any other applications can be found? Would it be wrong for a bank to ask you to identify the "real" transaction out of 10 falsies? As long as this wasn't before the "regular" login, there's be no worry that "£50 from Joe's A1 Adult Emporium" would crop up when you least expect! Could be a fine defence against bank phishing, come on hsbc, get yer act together, when a social network is out innovation you on security... erk.Tom Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17889630359738527948noreply@blogger.com
