I like the analogy to neurons but since we are sentient being this is a second order collective and I think we will know, at least to a degree, that we are merging.
It was all over the news - all over the world. I guess if you ask a random person on the street he'll tell you he heard ISIS hacked the US military :-)
Thank you for your comprehensive and insightful comments. We have a great team at LogDog and a product that can really help people. I agree that this is a complicated field and that the "bad guys" are really really smart. But you must agree with me that that is no reason not to push forward with ideas and technologies that can help people better protect themselves.
In the short time since we launched, our system has already made several confirmed catches - where we were able to warn users of unauthorized access to their accounts.
We put tremendous effort into securing the privacy of our users' data. We have undergone an external security audit and will continue to do so periodically.
We look forward to a fruitful discussion with the security community and to providing a service that we know to be both necessary and important.
There are various reasons why a cybersecurity company can't disclose the methods and mechanisms it uses in detail. We have our users' interest in mind.
If you know something suspicious is happening you can change your password (from the app) and throw the hacker out. You can also avoid rolling-hacks (ex: when your email is used to reset passwords on other services)
Obviously I can't go into too much detail, but we cross reference data from the different services we monitor and thus create a fairly robust usage profile.
LogDog does not save account credentials. They are kept only on the device and are never sent to our servers. The servers only keep anonymous data. There is nothing to hack.
LogDog monitors multiple parameters and will not send you alerts just because your VPN changes IPs. We establish a usage profile and only alert on significant anomalies.
