Turning on 2-step authentication in Google
One of the most harrowing tales of security woe in recent memory is that of Mat Honan , clearly a tech-savvy guy, who had a hacker call Apple and use social engineering gain access to his Amazon and iCloud accounts, and thus wound up losing a ton of data on his Mac, iPhone and iPad plus his primary Google account. Apple has since quit allowing iCloud password resets over the phone, but it wasn’t merely social engineering which allowed Honan’s account to be so thoroughly hijacked.
