All of you reading this have passwords of some sort. Â While some of you might have very secure passwords, like y&3uEY0(“329Hf1d, most of you have easier passwords, like “password”, your name, birthday, etc. Â You probably also have the same password for a lot of different sites, like Facebook, MySpace, your email account, or even your online banking. Â I just read an interesting article, however, that brings up a very interesting point: hackers don’t aim for your accounts at banks, where there’s high-security; they aim for the low hanging fruit, like a greeting card site, then use the password they figure out from there to get into your bank account.
Make a stronger password for yourself, and use this password checker from Microsoft to see how strong it is. Â Don’t worry, it won’t send your password to anyone. Â But try to come up with good passwords so that people don’t hack you–anywhere.
