60 Minute Security Makeover

Threat: It's hard to believe that attackers only need YOUR general or public email address to kick off the process of hijacking Twitter, Apple (and every other) online and mobile account. But in a recent study, attackers did indeed start with only an email address and billing address (available in many public records) to weak policies at for example Amazon and Apple and access accounts.

Defense: Don't use a publicly known email address for your account login and password-reset contact info. Instead, use one or more separate addresses that you reserve only for this use and not for any other type of communication. This makes it harder for someone who knows your personal or business email address to use that information to gain access to other accounts.
