Hackers stole sensitive records from over 700,000 people by breaching the Internal Revenue Service in 2015. You’d think that kind of horrific security breach would prompt some soul-searching, but [insert joke about soulless taxman here] nope. The IRS continues to use an impressively bad PIN authentication process to protect people…
An upcoming build of the CyanogenMod operating system includes a simple but brilliant security feature called “Scramble PIN Layout.” It’s exactly what it sounds like: a way to scramble the keypad when you unlock your phone, so that people can’t peek at your keystrokes and learn your PIN.
For just $US700 – or $US550 without diamonds – you can be the shame-filled owner of jewellery that emulates a security dongle. Runner up headlines: “Max Steiner x Winona Rider”, “M.C. Minnie Pearl”, “Don’t Worry I Still Shoplifted The Hat”. [Coolhunting]
