Well that's cool.

So yeah, can I borrow a couple hundred?  (and by borrow I mean you give me the money and I fail to return it by making up excuses and avoiding your calls and letters.)

Recently, HC was hacked. I did recommend that everyone make sure their HC passwords weren't the same as their emails. Anyone who hacks a forum can get everyone's forum password.

I've also lost my yahoo mess ID a year ago or so, and of course all contacts along with it. The worst part was I had there like... 100+ work contacts, from PRs to senior editors, lead designers and such. Go go yahoo servers.

Who would be noobish enough to use the same password on both accounts?

But there are more ridiculous examples, maybe

Name: Vangelis21
Pass: Vangelis21

(jk I know it wasn't true lol)


BTW Acu, I can't believe you got fooled by phising

Well I use multiple passwords but a lot of sites have the same though. I just can't stand to create different passwords for every site I need to register.

Me. >.>
But there is a simple explanation for that. I am usually too drunk to remember multiple passwords. Heck, sometimes I'm so drunk I can't remember my current one. I have the same pass on everything, from emails to WoW, from my porn sites constructive information sites to my other online games.

I don't think most hackers 'guess' the password, they use some other tricks (I think)

Guess? lol, you mean by hand or automatically with a script?

With a script it still is ultra slow, depending on the encryption used. Some encryption schemes are very easy to crack tho

Longer passwords = a lot harder to crack

What's wrong with guessing by hand? After all, it's not really hard to guess when you have:

Name: Vangelis21
Pass: Vangelis21

lol joking (although I think there really are stupid people out there that might use 'easy' passwords like this)

Those that guess like this are not crackers anyway
