The Most Common iPhone Passwords

Dec 16 2012

15 percent of iPhone passwords are:

1234, 0000, 1111, 5555, 2222, 1212

Also popular is up and down the middle.

“LOVE” is always on these lists.

1998 – I’d guess it’s popular because mime it out, it’s a comfortable password to input.  I’d also guess every person that uses 1998 is right handed.

The least used number in codes is 7.   

Same for people’s bank PIN numbers.

Let’s start using more 7s.

Worst Anti-Phone-Theft System I Ever Saw

Dec 16 2012

Plug the leash into the bottom of any Apple product (phone, iPod).

Somehow, it doesn’t come out when yanked.

If your surroundings are so hostile,
why are you on your phone at all?

Imagine that walking by on the street, like they’re almost asking for it, it’d be tempting wouldn’t it…

Stick Families are a Terrible Idea

Dec 12 2012

Can’t believe they’re still popular, like…. still?! 

Even their location is dumb – why put them directly in the rearview mirror’s view?

Favourite line:

Stick families broadcast personal information, and are an unnecessary breach of personal security.

I’ve been collecting photos for a year.

Bottom right is mildly amusing.

Surely you’ve seen the “Anti-Stick Family” stickers.

Maybe, but you still have a stick family on your car.

Worst sticker I’ve ever seen:

A good social engineer will use that information,
to get directly into the victim’s mind and heart.

Example: the attacker Googles the name of the deceased, finds the cause of death.

Then, they “run into” the car’s owner, “yup, I’m just passing through here, trying to reach my donation goal for my charity, it’s to benefit [cause of death].  Oh, that’s a cause close to your heart, and you’ll donate?  Thanks so much.”

Blog tag = Social Engineering

A Stab Proof Phone

Nov 25 2012

I watched him stab the screen 9 times, with force. Phone was fine.

It’s a Samsung Rugby – it’s shock and water-proof, and built to military specs.

And Samsung: I think riggers would love your phone.
