It all equals MDM becoming an unavoidable part of IT security. Ignore it at your own risk.

Remember the “Nigerian prince” who famously emailed financial requests far and wide more than a decade ago? It was a variant of the advance-fee scam, aka The Spanish Prisoner scam.

And it all comes to mind again with recent news of outlandish online scams originating from the same country. But how do these people manage to keep getting away with people’s money, information and identities? It makes you wonder how to protect yourself from online scammers.

Ocean’s 11-style capers, whether in movies or in the real world, are a lot more colorful than the typical online heist. But they are usually a lot less lucrative than real-life cybercrimes. The top online thefts in recent history netted copious amounts of cash or financial data. And despite increasing sophistication, hackers sitting at their keyboards often have a considerably easier time of it than George Clooney’s all-star cast of super-grifters did in the movie.
If the top five online heists described below don’t make you feel the acute need to review your own personal online financial security, they should.

This password sharing post is presented by Dashlane.
Let’s say you just got Netflix (again) and you want to share the password with your partner and kids so they can watch whatever it is they watch.
