Whilecomparing Kaspersky Total Security (KST) with Kaspersky Internet Security (KIS). One of the "extras" of KTS is the added "feature" of "Data Vaults", which "encrypts with AES256 with an effective key-length of 56bits". Obviously AES is defined for 256bits but somehow the entropy going into the key is reduced (e.g. 56 random bits fed to some KDF or SHA256 to stretch it).
I would like to know if someone has any information about the supposedly data protection feature f Data Vaults. With 56bits of security, it is well under the current state-of-art feasible limit and easily brute-forceable! Why would Kaspersky implement a feature that is by design weak? I understand that there exist cryptographic export regulations etc., but the KST Data Vaults are weak in ALL versions, not just versions that are to be distributed to restricted regions.
Moreover, even though I have the KIS version, which doesn't have Data Vaults, I found out the Kaspersky Labs Cryptographic Module (56bit) in my Program Files folder. Any thoughts as to why it got installed and if it's used anywhere?
Aside from the above, the fact that a Google search didn't shed much light into the 56bit AES situation strikes me as odd. There have been a few mentions in some websites but nowhere near to the fuss I would expect from the encryption being effectively broken. This also undermines another product, Kaspersky Password Manager (KPM). Does KPM use the same weakened 56bit AES?

We selected the sites that we think pose the most privacy threats by looking at a number of criteria, including how prominent they are online, how much data they have in their database, the types of information they collect, and if a site is a data source for other people search sites. While no one can ever be completely immune from privacy and identity risks, knowing where your personal data is being collected and sold is a step in the right direction to reclaiming your privacy online.
Family plans come with identity theft protection, online privacy, and device security for up to 6 family members (up to 2 adults and 4 children) without having to share logins. Each family member can set up their own identity, privacy, and device protection features in the way that works best for them.
Each family member gets their own, Individual Protection Score, which shows how safe they are, with guidance on how to improve their protection. Plus, parents can help keep their children safe online and limit their risk exposure with parental controls.
To share your subscription with your family, log in to My Account and click Manage users and devices. From there, you can send an invitation to each family member to join your plan. Each family member will be able to set up their McAfee account and complete the setup for their online protection.
Kids need protection in many of the same ways adults do. They have Social Security Numbers, which if used for identity theft, could affect their credit standings. They also have usernames and email addresses that could be part of a data breach, finding their way to the dark web where criminals can access them.
When online, children (and adults) need to be notified when a website or link is risky and could lead to a phishing site or a malware download. And of course, device protection on their computers and phones can save them from online threats like viruses and hackers.
The account owner can invite members as either an adult or a minor. Minors (and adults) will have access to their own accounts on the McAfee Protection Center. However, minors have access to fewer identity and privacy features than adults.
When you create an online account, your personal data is added to a company's database and can remain there even after you delete the account. An internet user can have hundreds of online accounts, many of which they might not know are still active.
The more companies that have your personal info, the higher the chance one of them will get breached, putting you at risk of identity theft. We'll help you delete these accounts for good so you can take back control of your privacy and even cut down on annoying spam emails.
Online Account Cleanup: Scans helps you find any accounts tied to your email and gives you clear instructions to reclaim your data. Online Account Cleanup: Scans is included in all McAfee+ plans.
Online Account Cleanup: Full-service not only finds your accounts, but lets the experts send the data deletion requests for you with a single click, saving you up to 10 hours or more* of manual work. Online Account Cleanup: Full-service is only included with McAfee+ Ultimate plans.
We do this by scanning your privacy settings on the different social media platforms you've connected and recommending changes that can help improve your privacy. You can choose which recommendations to apply and update your settings on each platform right from the extension.
Does McAfee scan all my settings on each social media platform?
We only scan key privacy settings on each platform you select. We organize these settings into four main categories: content visibility, ad preferences, social interactions, and platform experience.
What are my privacy recommendations based on?
Your privacy recommendations are based on the user type you select. This ensures our recommendations are tailored around how you use social media. For example, if someone prefers to post publicly on social media, we won't recommend an update that would make their posts private.
You can change your user type at any time from your Social Privacy Manager settings. When you do, we'll scan your settings on each platform again and update your recommendations based on your new user type.
Can McAfee see my private social media posts and messages?
We don't see any of your private social media posts, messages, or any other private data connected to your accounts, browser history, or device. We also will never post on your behalf or make changes to your profile.

In this article, we are going to talk about the differences between Bitdefender Total Security and Bitdefender Digital Identity Protection, and why a security solution is not enough to protect your identity.
Bitdefender Total Security is the ultimate security solution that takes multiple measures to locally protect digital data from cybercriminals. It protects against threats that spread uncontrollably and damage your system or corrupt your files. It fends off Trojans that give hackers remote control over infected devices. Bitdefender Total Security also protects against ransomware, a type of malware that locks down your files and requests payment in exchange for a decryption key. Other local security features are: Firewall, Antispam, and a VPN, which creates a safe tunnel for your online activity, encrypting all data traffic your computer handles.
Where local security stops, Bitdefender Digital Identity Protection comes to the aid. With Bitdefender Digital Identity Protection, you can: see exactly how much of your personal info has been exposed, receive instant alerts about any new breaches, and discover whether your digital footprint leaves your reputation at risk. It protects your reputation both professionally and personally by analyzing over 100 categories of data linked to your identity, such as e-mail, passwords, SSN, credit cards, travel documents, and phone numbers.
