I thought this was an interesting read about passwords.
People definitely need to be more secure with their passwords. The fact of the matter is though that weak passwords aren’t always as dangerous as just browsing the wrong web page can be.
So many people just install any software application a website thinks they ought to have. Browser vulnerablities allow malicious site owners to force software installation on unsuspecting web surfers.
I’m not saying that people ought to continue on with their weak passwords. I’m just saying that people need to be educated about more than just password creation.
It’s the fear of malware that causes me to force friends and family to use a severely limited account when they use my Windows machine.
