This is a very interesting talk at Google by the person who the movie "Catch me if you can" was based on. He covers a bit of the movie, a bit of his life, and answers a lot of questions from Google employees.
After defrauding the world, he has spent 40+ years working for the FBI. His first years in the FBI were spent undercover pretending to be all kinds of people while he served out the terms of his sentence. Now he works in "cyber." Questions include the Equifax hack, how Equifax made money off of it, and much more. He talks about IOT becoming security-first and he even claims "passwords will be gone in the next 24 months because of technology based on Trusona," which he says is used by the CIA for internal communication.
One very interesting thing is that has never had a debit card, and only uses credit cards, because with a credit card he has no financial liability in case of fraud.

"... if tomorrow someone gets my card number and charges 1 million dollars on my credit card, by federal law my liability is zero. I have no liability. So yes, I love to shop online. I don't use a special card, I just use my credit card. If they don't deliver the merchandise, if they deliver it and it's broken, if the host site I went to was fictitious to begin with, I have zero liability. When you use your debit card, every time you reach for you're exposing the money in your account."
Its nothing new, but its an excellent for younger folks who are new to credit.

Thanks, I had it correct to begin with.
