I have a similar scenario, receiving a notification on my iPhone that approx 80 of my username/passwords are the subject of a data breach. However many of my passwords on this notification are different. Ie, not the same password across all sites. I often use a similar password but with different letters or numbers at the end.
I can understand the concept of, say, a retailers website getting hacked and suffering a data breach that contains a list of all its customers including my email and password. And I get that as a precaution Apple may notify me about a potential breach for any other websites where I may have the same email & password combination. But why would I be notified of many other passwords being at risk? Is it because they may contain 'part' of the same password? But that still doesn't explain the notifications relating to my wife and sons passwords which are nothing like mine.
i bought an iphone 8 plus on ebay and right when i was signing in to all my accounts that i used before it always says its been in a data leak, i want to know if this is from me buying an iphone from ebay or if its just like those scam phone calls you get when they ask for your credit card information.
Clearly 1 causes me great concern but 2 would seem reasonable, in that there will be numerous people worldwide that would randomly choose the same 5 figure number, of which some poor sole has had their data breached.
Re-use a password, and some miscreant will now have access to that service, and whatever additional access can be gained from there. Access ro an Apple,ID (and particularly one without two-factor enabled) is a Bad Day for the account holder, too.
But to keep passwords for every websites is insane. How can we remember those passwords? If this is the solution then it sucks. Normal people can't remember each and every password (now you will tell that you don't have to remember the password but instead your phone or computer will do it. Unfortunately, Life is not that simple.
All of these work the same way. They store your passwords using strong encryption, and you only have to remember one password for the app itself to find any password and have it entered automatically into the website or app.
haveibeenpwned contacts multiple famous services such as wattpad and mathway, etc to see if they have been exposed to hackers and accounts have been sold or leaked, and might also confirm that your email or phone-number is part of that list.
Contrastingly Apple's Keychain services use a different method. Like many VPN services like NordVPN, Keychain actually references many deep web links to compromised accounts and immediately contacts the owner. Quote:
There are situations that are more likely than not to be actual violations, such as consistent log-ins to the same account during prime time at several repeating geographic locations within the same city, or daily simultaneous use in different countries or continents. There may exist isolated cases of legitimate use even within these occurrences, but they are hard to imagine and would certainly be in the minority.
Unsupervised learning allows for users with similar viewing habits to be classified into clusters without having to identify those habits in advance. In the example below, 15,100 internet users are grouped into five clusters using 51 usage metrics. As can be seen in Figure 1, not all clusters contain the same number of users. In fact, Clusters 2, 3 and 5 contain only 25 users between them. If this were my data set, I would take a closer look at these clusters to try to understand how they differ from the remaining 15,075 people.
That information may be found in the parallel cord plot below in Figure 2, where each line represents a cluster. Looking at the leftmost extreme of the plot, it seems the three users in Cluster 5, on average, had a larger tot_HO (total hours online) than the users in any of the other clusters, on average. This may be one of the metrics that distinguishes this cluster from the others. There are others as well, as indicated in the portions of the plot where the lines deviate.
The next step would be to consider these differences and think logically about which clusters are composed of users who are most likely violating their service agreements. The nice thing about JMP is that initially, if nothing concrete emerges, the platforms are designed to let analysts keep exploring the data until something meaningful pops out at them. Once that happens, they'll have a good idea of the accounts to target the warnings.
From there, a streaming platform like Netflix could monitor these accounts to find out whether there are differences in their usage habits. Doing so might indicate that some of the accounts had multiple households sharing passwords, and the warnings were heeded. A clear outcome would be to do this as a test in a localized region and see if there is a spike in subscriptions in the days or weeks that followed.
Perhaps streaming companies have ways of monetizing viewership apart from the subscription fees, such as product placement, and would rather err on the side of more viewers rather than fewer. Of course, how many viewers gained versus subscription fees lost would be the type of information needed before making those decisions. JMP can be used at every step of this process. Our software enables domain experts to wade through large and complex data sets until insights emerge that only they, being experts, can understand. It further allows those experts to distill the insights and present them in a way that is easily digested by stakeholders, thus ensuring any resulting actions align with the strategic needs of the business.
It'll be interesting to see what actions the various streaming services take to address this issue moving forward. One thing is certain: They, like many other organizations, will have leveraged the power of analytics to inform and augment the decisions driving them.
Hi, i only yesterday got around to resetting my Mail password to discover several emails telling me about Netflix being added to my account and to "click here" to register. When i clicked, the link said there was a problem.
I called VM Support and they didn;t appear to understand my issue and stated "your registration will be fixed within 5 days". Don;t know how that'll work as VM has no idea what my Netflix account info is.
I've signed out of my Netflix account (everywhere) and reset my password so i'm happy that what's showing on the Netflix channel and App is not my account (it hasn't been hi-jacked). I would though like to view Netflix on my VM box so need the other account to be gone...
Click OK on your 360 remote on the screen that you just posted. On the next screen use the navigation buttons to move all the way across to the left. It opens another side panel. Don't worry about not being able to understand the language/symbols on this screen or the following ones.
I recently changed TV and lost the Paramount+ App (from the TV Apps) and found the App on the VM Box. I then saw the Netflix App and thought, well why not use it, especially as the basic access is free.
Think i have a Tivo Box, the settings above aren;t visible to me. I can select "Home > Settings" but there's nothing obvious to me to find Netflix (I've been thru most of the menu options within Settings).
Welp. It happened again. You forgot your Netflix password. Or you got an extremely suss email saying someone tried to log into your account from Canada or somewhere. Or your ex of five years is still leeching onto your account to watch The Great British Bake Off and it's time to cut them off.
Perhaps you're not completely unable to access your Netflix account, you just want to change your password. If that's the case and you're signed into your account, head to your avatar in the upper righthand corner of your screen. Click it to reveal a dropdown menu, then select "Account."
You may find yourself on the streaming service's login page, where you can click "Need help?" under the Sign In button and be transported to netflix.com/LoginHelp. (You can also visit that URL at any point to access Netflix's password assistance page. You don't always have to go through the Sign In page.)
The email might take a couple of minutes to appear in your inbox, but once you see it, click on it. There will be a link in the email that you'll need to click in order to sign into your Netflix account without needing your password.
We'll go ahead and remind you that you can't use the same password you used before. But that shouldn't be a problem, because if you knew what password you had before you probably wouldn't be here. If you do happen to enter a password that feels new, but Netflix tells you that you can't use your old password, well...I guess you remembered your password after all. Tragically, you're too late. But change is good, my friend. Embrace it.
