Just saw Frank Abagnale "catch me if you can" give his talk on cyber security.
He says to always use credit cards and not debit cards because they are protected if stolen.
I use a debit card. It is on a separate account. I only put money in that account to spend with the debit card.
With a credit card theifs get you credit limit, you don't have to pay it but they still get it.
With my debit card their is not any money or credit for the theifs to get.
The other thing he talks about is 2FA with no passwords. To log into anything you have to scan a QR code with your phone and it logs you in. It doesn't text or phone numbers that you have to repeat like most MFA. It is the opposite. It displays the code that your phone app scans and logs you in. The system is called Trusona. It is supposed to be none replayable. There is some stuff like google storage that requires and authentication app, but it still sends a code you type in and it only authenticates once instead of have to re-autheniticat each time you log in. Says he doesn't like biometric stuff because your fingerprint of facial recognition still makes a file with numbers that can be replayed. Oh yeah, he does not write checks, too easy to get your info from.
