Interesting indeed. Thanks for sharing.
 
The key advice he gave was always pay with a credit card and destroy your debit card. Each credit card use builds your credit score and puts you in a better financial position whereas a debit card does nothing to help your credit score and if hacked you lose your money with no recourse to recover it.

The other interesting thing was the Truesona technology as a replacement for password sign on. He thinks this will take the internet by storm.
