QUESTION: What’s the biggest hacking threat you can see for the future?
ANSWER: Most of the scariest “future” hacking threats are possible right now, from hacked cars and firearms to cloned NFC payment systems and SIM cards. Imagine your car going into a ditch, a sniper rifle shooting at the wrong target, having your money stolen remotely or someone having complete access to your cell phone information. Then there are warnings that chemical plants are at risk, and there are ways hackers can easily cause fires in above-ground gas storage tanks. With computers in everything, and most industries not thinking as hard as they should about security, nothing is safe.
Q: I recently retired with a comfortable amount in savings and investments, but I’d really like to keep a close eye on it. Any suggestions?
A: There are plenty of sites that can help. Personal Capital, for example, combines every scrap of your financials in one place. You can see how much money you’ve spent the past month, and how much money you have in your bank accounts, stocks, IRAs, 401(k)s and other investments. On one page, you can link them and the bills you need to pay to see your net worth, and even get payment reminders.
