The RadioTime applications and systems have some design flaws that present security and privacy threats to its users. Some recommendations: Current RadioTime Users: * Try not to log in to RadioTime from less secure networks like public wireless access points. * Make sure the password you are using for RadioTime is *not* the same as, nor even similar to, any password you use for any other account you care about. If it is, log in to RadioTime's web site and change your password. * Be aware that anyone can access your list of RadioTime "favorites" and your general location simply by providing your username (they do *not* need your password). Also, anyone can learn the email address you provided to RadioTime. If this concerns you, - Log in to RadioTime and change your location - Log in to RadioTime and change your email address - Log in to RadioTime and delete all your RadioTime favorites - Ask RadioTime to delete your account - Create a new account (see below) New RadioTime Users: * Choose a unique, hard-to-guess username. Your username should look like a hard-to-guess password, e.g. "peterwhktufuyyrt". This will protect your account against the no-password privacy flaws in the RadioTime system. * Choose a password for RadioTime is *not* the same as, nor even similar to, any password you use for any other account you care about. -Peter -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim BlankSaver BottleRocket FuzzyTime SaverSwitcher SleepFade StatusFirst VolumeLock ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34909 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
