(B)
Since I started writing about cybersecurity, I’ve developed something of a reputation for
paranoia. I set up 23 passwords for every website, 24 two-step authentication
whenever I can, 25 for credit monitoring and regularly use secure mobile apps to speak
with sensitive sources. I also cover my computer’s web camera with a masking tape, and one
night—during some paranoia-fraught weeks reporting on Chinese 26 —I even went so
far as to move my television out of my bedroom just in case somebody was lurking in my
cable box. In short, I have become completely 27 about protecting my personal data.
So imagine my reaction the other week when my own father sent a text message 28
my Social Security number, driver’s license number, birth date, account number, phone
number, email address and full name— 29 everything one would need to steal my
identity—to people in his address book. Suffice to say, I was not exactly calm, cool and
collected. It was an honest mistake, of course, but it was 30 . I’ve taken companies to
task for storing personal data and chastised perfect strangers for not 31 password PINs
on their phones. But security experts like to say security is only 32 the weakest link.
And in this case, the weakest link—I’m sorry to say—was my dad.
