KrebsOnSecurity has long warned readers to plant your own flag at the my Social Security online portal of the U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) — even if you are not yet drawing benefits from the agency — because identity thieves have been registering accounts in peoples’ names and siphoning retirement and/or disability funds.

That was topic No. 1 for our panel of tech experts – CSO‘s Michael Nadeau, Infoworld‘s Serdar Syegulalp, Computerworld Executive Editor Ken Mingis and Macworld‘s Michael Simon – as they peer into the near-future to discern what’s coming in 2018 and what’s not.
