AOL To Offer Service To Fight Hackers

America Online will begin offering to sell members a security device and service that has been used to safeguard business computer networks, the world’s largest Internet service provider said on Monday.

AOL, a unit of Time Warner, signed a deal with Internet security company RSA Security to launch its new AOL PassCode, designed to add an additional layer of protection to member accounts. PassCode users will be provided with a small handheld six-digit numeric code key. To log onto an AOL account equipped with the service, users will have to type in the six-digits, which refresh on the device every 60 seconds, on top of using the regular password.
