Re: Debit & Credit vs. Cash
@REISEN: I think that's why we're seeing people taking "cash back" on debit purchases at grocery stores and pharmacies much more often.

Also, what you point is a very real problem in second-world and third-world countries. At the MIT India Conference, speakers spoke extensively on the real-world conundrum people in outlying rural areas face where they have to walk more than 20 miles each way to get actual cash.

Re: Debit & Credit vs. Cash
Cash is always a good alternative, but you have to go somewhere to GET IT and years ago we used to cash our paychecks in a bank with a human being.  Now - direct deposit, debit card, atm and the cycle begins.  How many of us actually DO walk into a bank to withdraw money with a withdrawal slip (remember those?).

Debit & Credit vs. Cash
This is why I increasingly pay cash for purchases when practical to do so. Too many skimmers out there... Brian Krebs has got me sufficiently paranoid.

Re: Suggestion for Card Usage
I know this is rather basic - and yes card compromise can and will happen so a low limit card can probable be hacked and a high credit limit applied as well.  Still, a good policy in any circumstance.

One word, though, even more frightening ---- PAYPAL.

Re: Suggestion for Card Usage
"And use ONLY that card for online purchases."

This! If only more people would know about this. Oh well...

Suggestion for Card Usage
IF you do, like everyone does, card transactions - open ONE, just ONE, card with say a $500 balance limit.  And use ONLY that card for on-line purchases.  That way, IF the card is compromised, at least your exposure is really small and thieves cannot buy a Masserati on it.,

Everything You Need to Know About DNS Attacks
It's important to understand DNS, potential attacks against it, and the tools and techniques required to defend DNS infrastructure. This report answers all the questions you were afraid to ask. Domain Name Service (DNS) is a critical part of any organization's digital infrastructure, but it's also one of the least understood. DNS is designed to be invisible to business professionals, IT stakeholders, and many security professionals, but DNS's threat surface is large and widely targeted. Attackers are causing a great deal of damage with an array of attacks such as denial of service, DNS cache poisoning, DNS hijackin, DNS tunneling, and DNS dangling. They are using DNS infrastructure to take control of inbound and outbound communications and preventing users from accessing the applications they are looking for. To stop attacks on DNS, security teams need to shore up the organization's security hygiene around DNS infrastructure, implement controls such as DNSSEC, and monitor DNS traffic
