Within close interval two popular sites (LinkedIn and eHarmony) have faced massive password theft. And, soon after that, fake emails from LinkedIn started to circulate. Just about all of us have fallen victim to password theft and phishing attempts by hackers, or a hack of our email or social network accounts. Are we approaching the end of the password as we know it? Most likely! BTW, after the LinkedIn lesson, the one step you must take today »
Make sure that any account that matters to you has its own password.
“Using an important password anywhere else is just like mailing your house key to anyone who might be making a delivery,” Michael Jones of Google said. “If you use your password in two places, it is not a valid password.”
