On March 2, 2020, a resident of a secure memory care unit in Elmcroft of Lebanon, a Tennessee nursing facility, “eloped” with his wife from the premises, according to a state report on the incident. (The Tennessean first reported the incident last month.) The man was admitted to Elmcroft with a diagnosis of dementia, while the woman was admitted with Alzheimer’s disease. A stranger spotted the residents, who were safe, walking two blocks from Elmcroft about 30 minutes after they left and picked them up. After the couple returned to Elmcroft, the staff asked them how they pulled off their stunt, since employees must type a numeric code on a keypad to exit the locked memory care unit. The man said he had previously worked with Morse code in the military, and his ear was trained enough to figure out the code on the pad from the noise it made. He reportedly duplicated the numbers to unlock the door.

Although the data posted on the forum is several years old, it still poses risks because so much of it, including telephone numbers, is likely still valid, says Lorrie Cranor, director of the Cylab Security and Privacy Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. This breach did not leak passwords or financial account information, but it leaked information that can certainly be of use to identity thieves and make it easier for them to impersonate people and compromise their accounts, Cranor says. Organizations should check their password reset processes and make sure that the breached info alone is not enough to reset a password and take over someone s account. Consumers should be using two-factor authentication whenever it is available. This is just another reason why that is a good idea.

We humans struggle with this work and often succumb by abandoning the basic hygiene of using a different password at every site. Password reuse turns a data breach at one site into an opportunity for attackers to try your exposed password at others. “I don’t know anyone who thinks they can keep complex and different passwords memorized,” emailed Lorrie Cranor, director of the CyLab Security and Privacy Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. “If you adopt a password manager, you don’t have to think about coming up with unique and strong passwords anymore and you don’t have to figure out how you are going to remember them.”

In the last four years, the Trump administration viewed certain Chinese companies - especially telecommunication technology companies, such as Huawei, and those offering social media apps, such as TikTok - as threats to U.S. national security because they could collect large amounts of data on American citizens and potentially share it with the Chinese government. In the last week, the Biden administration has asked a federal court to delay a hearing on whether TikTok should be banned in the U.S. as the White House studies Trump s previous executive orders to reassess the policy. Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal and South China Morning Post report that ByteDance, parent company of TikTok, is shelving plans to create a partnership with Oracle and Walmart that would have created a new company to oversee TikTok s American operations, as was preferred by Trump (see:
