Changing Passwords periodically as a Form of Asset
Protection!
Have you considered changing your passwords as a form of
asset protection? I believe that it is not healthy to live in fear. However, I
have no problem with living cautiously. We have people calling to scam us. When
we view the news, we see chaos everywhere. We hear about crimes such as
identity theft, hacking, and the invasion of celebrities’ privacy. We are all a
celebrity in our own rite; at least, you are to me. Hence, the need to protect
our assets.
Asset protection includes many forms: wealth protection,
insurance, security alarms, and now password changes. The experts say that we
should have a different password for every account that we own. Some say that
we can use the same password for low sensitive information. Now, if large
corporations are hacked, what do we think can happen to our information that we
are supposed to be protecting? Frequently, we need to change our passwords,
view our sign in activity, secure our documents, change our patterns, and minimize talking on our cell
phones in public. Then, let’s have a backup plan for income replacement
strategies.
I found Forbes link regarding passwords to be interesting: http://www.forbes.com/sites/josephsteinberg/2014/11/12/why-you-should-ignore-everything-you-have-been-told-about-choosing-passwords/
Protect your assets! Please leave a comment regarding your
thoughts, not paranoia, but good and professional common sense. We do not know
everything, but together we can know many things.
