Lots and lots of creative criminals on the internet.
Yep; and we didn't mention another local-computer favorite: Trojan key-loggers.
I had to answer a call... busy morning.
Thanks for the added info... Great reminder on WiFi encryption. I had to double check that "Low" risk uses WPA2 on my router.
me to and we did just did the change password drill. my government accounts are sticklers for length and odd characters.
but my wifi is blocked by all the metal in the house form getting past the door
My government passwords are annoying as all get out. I have to change it every other month and can't use the same password twice. I make really strong passwords (alphanumeric and special character at least 20 characters long) and it gets really difficult to make up and remember new ones in the frequency they want me to. Most of my coworkers either write theirs down, or save it to their phones. These choices are a bigger security vulnerability than keeping the same password for a longer length of time.
Just love the companies with draconian password procedures where employees have their 20 character passwords, including at least one upper and one lower case character, one number, and one special character, written on a sticky note pasted on their monitor or keyboard. And I don't blame the employees. I know I can't remember such nonsense for 20 accounts that changes every 6 months. I don't use sticky notes, but I do have a text file. And I ran the IT dept. for a newspaper for 15 years.
