It was a fantastic experience being in Berlin during the Web2.0 Expo this week. I met a lot of interesting people, and was happy (though not surprised) to learn that privacy and identity management is a key topic for many Web 2.0 users. A top highlight for me was having the chance to ask Tim [...]
We’ve been throwing around the idea of a weekly post dedicated to informative finds on the web that have to do with privacy and security. And in light of yesterday’s great guest post by Bart Mroz for Identity Awareness Day, Passpack decided that now is a better time than any to start – This Week [...]
Online Identity is a topic close to my heart. Passwords may be directly related to authentication — but Passpack’s relationship with Online Identity runs deeper than that. Let me share with you our ultimate vision for Passpack: in our personal lives, we all have public and private spheres. The latter is completely missing in our [...]
The word privacy is thrown around all over the internet, usually accompanied by fingerpointing and all too often heavy lawsuits. But what does private really mean in a Web 2.0 world? Do you have any of the following accounts (or all of them) – YouTube, MySpace, Facebook? These sites are slowly redefining your privacy and [...]
When I first heard about Marco Barulli’s idea for a “Zero-Knowledge Web Application” I was happy. I felt I had found someone who thought the same way I do, with which we could collaborate, and I told him so. But when I read the first definition, I was less impressed. I tried to open a [...]
Here is the Host-Proof Hosting Library on Google Code. Here is Passpack’s brand new Google Group (just a few lonely souls right now, but join up and we’ll be merry). My Buddy – Host-Proof Hosting. Where I go, It Goes. Security on the web has pretty much dominated my life in the past few months [...]
Since Yesterday, PayPal is not sending us confirmation notification of the payments. So the system is unable to update the status of the accounts. We could do this manually, but when PayPal will solve the issue, it will probably send all the notifications and this could create worse issues. So, we are waiting for a while. If nothing happens, we will fix the updates manually.
UPDATE, Jan. 29. The strategy worked because PayPal sent all the notification at one moment, and all the accounts have been upgraded correctly.
We completed the performance improvement of Passpack moving the static files on a new server. This improves also the general security because it is now much harder for an attacker to try to inject Javascript code.
Passpack has discontinued Google Gears support. It was used with slow browsers like Internet Explorer 6 or 7. If you use one of these browsers, probably your account will become really slow without Google Gears. We strongly suggest to upgrade to IE 9 or to a totally different browser like Chrome.
Follow-up to the last post, the billing system is completely functional again. Happy Tuesday!
