The username and password combination has been the mainstay of internet security for many years. But as cyberattacks grow more sophisticated, the shortcomings of this conventional approach become more noticeable. Many platforms have implemented more intricate authentication procedures to safeguard their users in response to the increase in sophisticated threats. One of the most often used substitutes is two-factor authentication, or 2FA, also referred to as two-step verification. However, 2FA is not infallible. This article provides advice on how to protect your accounts and examines typical techniques used by attackers to get around 2FA. Two-Factor Authentication's Ascent By forcing users to submit two different forms of credentials—something they know, like a password, and something they have, like a physical token or a biometric factor—two-factor authentication improves security. It is more difficult for attackers to obtain illegal access because to this extra layer. 2FA is not...

The integration of biometric technologies into public and private sectors is transforming how identities are verified and authenticated. As these technologies become more sophisticated, affordable, and widespread, they increasingly play a role in our daily interactions, from unlocking smartphones to passing through airport security. While biometrics offer substantial benefits, they also raise significant privacy concerns. This blog delves into the nature of biometrics, their applications, and the privacy challenges they present, particularly in the context of the Information Privacy Principles (IPPs) under the Privacy and Data Protection Act 2014 (PDP Act). Comprehending Biometrics Probabilistic matching is a technique used by biometric technologies to identify people according to their distinct physiological and behavioral traits. Behavioral characteristics include typing patterns, locomotion, and signatures, whereas physiological characteristics include fingerprints, hand geometry, i...
