It’s been just a matter of time when
Yahoo Acquired Tumblr, which gave a lot of panic to its billion users to their
blog security but Yahoo, took care of it and boost up the services by adding
SSL into the service, which was not by default but user has to into the setting
to activate it. Adding more juice to the Service with its two step verification
service like Gmail means every time when a user tries to login they send an
one-time-password to the user’s phone, which will expire in 5 minutes if not
entered. Tumblr has Google and Facebook like reputation in the tech industry in
terms of security concerns. This news comes out after Tumblr made a blog post, which
hold off the outside hackers to get access to the blogs dashboard. The two
factor’s work like one key is your password and other company will send you
when you login to the blog.
Tumblr wrote “The smile of a loved
one, your childhood blanket. A handsome bodyguard to take you in his arms, “Security”
can mean a lot of things in this crazy life, but nothing says “security” like
Tumblr’s two-factor authentication. It’s available as an option in your Settings page
as of right now. You know how you need two keys to launch a nuclear missile?
Two-factor authentication works like that. One key is your password, the other
key is your cellular phone, and you need both to access your Tumblr Dashboard.
Keep your Dashboard safe and secure, like you do with your nuclear missile.”
The goal is to makes hard to hack and
nobody except user can get into the blog. The Two Factor authentication did it
well with precision. The Big hacker is to worry about is Government sneaksinto people’s life or spying so this could stop them from sneaking around.
