Secure USB Drive

As you may have seen in the news, there’s a widespread email phishing scam going on that has so far affected over 30,000 users of Hotmail, Google and Yahoo’s web mail services.  Username and password details for these accounts were posted briefly online. 

But there’s also an underlying security issue that needs attention.  Many people often use one password for multiple online applications, such as their webmail, online banking and more.  Which means if a hacker can crack one password, they may have access to many other aspects of your online life.

So it’s worth having a different, and complex, password for every online application that you want to protect.  This is easy to do with our Usecure USB flash drives, as the user interface requires that you use a complex alphanumeric password (it also gives you a handy reminder, just in case you should forget).  But it’s good practice to not use that password again!
