It also works because he's 6'4"... if you're a half foot shorter, you're in the nard-crushing zone.

Another good suggestion -- every account anyone has that supports two factor authentication, enable it! I could hand out my Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Bank and other account passwords to anyone and they wouldn't be able to get in. For those who aren't familiar, these are mechanisms that will either text you a code you have to enter, or use a small app on your phone to give you a code, or call you to establish your identity using two factors (something you know -- your password -- and something you have -- your phone).

And, if you have other accounts that don't support two-factor but can be federated to ones that do, do so. (They'll have options like signing in with your Facebook account, or Google account, or Microsoft account, with the upside that they never see a password from you.)

We have a bunch of impacted or soon to be impacted federal customers. We're not taking that action, but I can see a company doing that, especially if they're not running multi-tenant services. Thankfully most of our government customers are on on the federal fiscal year and already paid their invoices, and that's covering the infrastructure and employee costs we have for the others.

Usage fingerprinting can positively identify people purely from on-page and server access heuristics.

In-private has no impact on it.

The only question is if that identification is worth the added cost of the streaming analytics required. Usually it's not.

That also works regardless of VPN or tor. Even fifteen years ago we could fingerprint usage with accesses randomized across geographic regions within a few seconds to maybe a minute.
