hacking seems to be the new thing now... ppl are gona stop trying to scam and just go straight to hacking passes
it's because site members use easy to guess passwords or don't log out shared computers.
everybody uses a super secure password at a banking site.
unfortunately most kids don't do it on their tracker.
i travel a lot and when i use public computers in small hotels i always see a hell lot of private information left by the guests, that used it before.
when you use a computer that is not your own, make sure that no cookies, passwords, logins or whatever are stored.
use a password that looks like this:
chzT54U89b
and not your dog's name and your date of birth.
use a different password on every site.
write them down on a piece of paper. of course others might see them, but when your pc crashes, you're out of luck not having them.
passwords are stolen from pcs, and not out of your desk. you are not this important.
I've never been hacked once, make sure you scan for spyware weekly as well as viruses.
If you want to make your PW something like your dogs name use a mix of lower case, uppercase, numbers and symbols.
Eg: mrBOMBASTIC908()*
Even that password is easy to crack by someone who knows you. The best way is to use long random generated passphrases, as each word adds 12.9 bits of entropy to your password, wich means a five word passphrase would have an entropy of at least 64.6 bits; six words would have 77.5 bits, seven words 90.4 bits. Plus, if you add a random character somewhere in your passphrase, you'll be adding 10 bits more.
In plain english, here is what I mean:
To find out how to make supersecure easy to remember passphrases, go to the
- Four words are breakable with a hundred or so PCs.
- Five words are only breakable by an organization with a large budget.
- Six words appear unbreakable for the near future, but may be within the range of large organizations by around 2014.
- Seven words and longer are unbreakable with any known technology, but may be within the range of large organizations by around 2030.
- Eight words should be completely secure through 2050.
