> We publically tested this about a year ago and realized that showing the IP, location, browser or any other data wasn't enough for people to determine if they should or not authorize a request. Further this data is easy to spoof (like location), so if the attacker is familiar with the user, he can easily select "good" values to further trick the user into authorizing the request.

*** Book World: A Publishing House’s Back Story In ‘Hothouse,’ By Boris Kachka ***
<http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/books/hothouse-farrar-straus-and-giroux-by-boris-kachka/2013/08/07/5e332770-fbab-11e2-8752-b41d7ed1f685_story.html?wprss=rss_books>
Michael Dirda, Washington Post


> Many, if not most, readers are hardly aware of who publishes their favorite authors. Without looking, could you name John Grisham’s publisher? Or J.K. Rowling’s? Or Thomas Pynchon’s? Probably not. Only those who make their living in the book industry, starting with the writers themselves, tend to know or care that Knopf means classy and distinguished, that Simon & Schuster is a commercial powerhouse and that Farrar Straus Giroux — the subject of this juicy new book by New York magazine contributing editor Boris Kachka — has long possessed unrivaled literary cachet.
