Facebook leaked personal data to advertisers

According to this article, a vulnerability in some Facebook apps allowed third-party advertisers to access security tokens that act as a spare key to users' profiles, allowing them to read posts and access profile information.


While the article points out that the advertisers may not have known they had the ability to do that and Facebook has now fixed the vulnerability, those security tokens may still exist on third-party servers. To make sure you're protected, change your Facebook password.

Offline NT Password & Registry Editor

Have you ever been locked out of Windows because you don't know the password?  Maybe you forgot it.  Or maybe you got a hand-me-down computer and the previous owner neglected to tell you the password.  Or maybe somebody else using your computer changed it and didn't tell you.  There are a number of scenarios that require the ability to reset a Windows password.


The Offline NT Password & Registry Editor bootable CD is the solution to the problem.  You just download the ISO image and burn it to a blank CD, then boot the afflicted computer from that CD and follow the prompts to reset the password for the chosen Windows account to one of your choosing.


Tada!

LastPass

LastPass is a password manager.  But, it's not just any old password manager.  It encrypts your passwords locally on your computer and then uploads the encrypted data to a secure site online.  That means that you can access your passwords from any computer with an Internet connection.


What I love about LastPass is that I can easily install the browser add-on/plug-in/extension into IE, Firefox and Chrome on all of my computers and have my passwords available in any browser on any of my computers.  How convenient!
