Another case of one step forward two steps back.
I'll be glad to assist you - for a fee. |
If your password to key accounts is something like "
221&b%$x09" you probably think that no one could guess that, right? Think again. Hackers now have access to computer hardware and software that can try
NINE MILLION iterations per minute. A ten digit pw with characters and numbers like the one above is an Easy Hack. But don't despair. There is an easy fix. All users are requested to change their Password as appropriate to a 4,000 digit entry using combinations of letters, numbers, at least 5 different alphabets, glyphs, Mayan gibberish, and social security number. Furthermore, change your PW every 2 weeks. If you have really sensitive stuff to protect, use a password of 10 to the sixteenth power number of figures and you should be good for awhile.
