Adobe Hacked - Password Shocker!

Herr-Berbunch · 11-06-13, 11:07 AM

OK, I'm sure most are aware that Adobe was hacked recently, seems to me if you want to get into a persons Adobe account you just need six numbers.

123456

1.9m users had that as their password.

The top twenty passwords for Adobe are

How dare you post my password on the internez tubes.

Seriously though most people have no idea why they even have passwords. At all the businesses I've worked with there is a strong push by the uneducated to have a single password that lets them access all the information assets they have permission for. Which whilst convenient actually puts their businesses at risk of penetration to in some circumstances the crown jewels of the information assets of the business. Personal security habits are an are an even bigger joke.

My morning paper quoted 'fyou' as a top twenty choice.

It's like when I see people with " " (one tap of the space bar) as their phone password.

YOU COMPLETELY DEFEATED THE PURPOSE!

Ah...when will we learn?

I did, and still do, alot of computer work for businesses and individuals.
They ask me if I need thier passwords.
I tell them "If I can't crack it in a day? I'll call you."
I don't make many calls.

Good IT security.

Have multiple passwords and then tape them underneath your keyboard so you do not forget them.

And when you are forced to change your password then just use a one up serial, i.e. password1, password2, password3.

There are more, but I need to send some cash to a Nigerian prince to help access his Swiss bank account.

Would you tell me your secrets how to do that?

I am wondering what are you trying to say if if you have the password "iloveyou"?
