LPM Tip
Doubling down: More on two-factor authentication
Last month, we covered
the importance of applying two-factor authentication for securing
your accounts. This month, as summer passes
into fall, two-factor authentication is in the news
again.
Dropbox has recently
suffered yet
another major security snafu, in a
consistent line of major security snafus. In yet another
attempt to combat hackers' and open access to Dropbox accounts,
Dropbox has added two-factor authentication to its credentialing
process. If you have a Dropbox account,
turn on two-factor authentication to further secure your
uploads. You should also continue to utilize
client-side encryption, in order to apply your own encryption
keys to files you upload to the cloud.
As we advised last month, if an account has two-factor
authentication available, and if it works reasonably well, turn it
on. It's just another layer of protection for your confidential or
important files.
Other cloud drive services apply two-factor authentication, as
well, including Google
Drive (via Google account log-in) and SpiderOak. For those that don't,
like SugarSync, it's a legitimate factor to consider
for an attorney deciding whether or not to use a particular
platform.
