The attack on Gawker Media site recently once again showed the risk of using weak passwords. Using the same username and password for multiple sites may be convenient, but it can prove costly. An analysis of the passwords stolen in the Gawker incident show that many people are choosing poor passwords, that are easy for online criminals to guess.
In fact, post Gawker attack, several websites like Google, Twitter, LinkedIn and Yahoo advised users to change their passwords. According to Sophos, many users (33% in its research) use the same password on every single website. This means that if their password gets stolen in one place (say on Gawker's Gizmodo or Lifehacker websites), it can be used to unlock access to other sites too.

The security company has also released a list of world's 50 worst passwords. Time to go through them and make sure your password isn't part of the list.

You can say that money does not bring happiness but I want to ask "REALLY".. Think if you had no money what would you do? You would not be able to satisfy your needs. Anyone who does not earn sufficient money suffers from depression and lack of self... |
