You're creating a new account for an online banking portal. To help protect your account, the bank requires you to answer a couple of security questions; you choose to answer your mother's maiden name and the name of your favorite sport team. Why might this be a potential security issue? What can you do to mitigate risk in this situation?
This could be a potential risk as social engineers/hackers are adept at finding personal information online via sites like Ancestry.com or Facebook. By interacting on social media sites or other websites, users can unwittingly give away information that give clues about their security answers or passwords. To avoid weak security question answers, you could start by vetting your social media sites and internet visibility to determine that you haven't revealed any sensitive information related to the security questions you chose. Additionally, you can answer the security questions with unique, indirect answers.
