How to surf safely: From LastPass to tin foil hats, and everything in between | ExtremeTech: It’s a dangerous world on the web, and it’s getting more treacherous by the day. This past month alone has seen the likes of LinkedIn, Last.fm, and eHarmony all succumb to major security breaches in which millions of hashed user passwords were posted to a Russian website for anyone to try and crack. That’s not such a big deal if you’re using a different password for your banking institution than your LinkedIn profile (you are, right?) — not unless you’re worried some jackhole is going to muck with your online resume, or alter your eHarmony profile to say you only like long, nude walks on the beach, and even then, there’s a chance it could work out for the better.
