Hackers...

I just read the article on the Read Write Web, Hacking Into Your Account is as EASY as 123456, and was amazed by the simplicity of many passwords. I thought mine was simply to remember, but I guess you would have to know me pretty well in order to figure it out. Then again, I have several different account names and account passwords, that I have a difficult time keeping them straight. But, even so, I still try to make them more discreet. I was impressed when this article discussed if there was a "brute force attack" that a hacker could "access 1000 accounts within 17 minutes." This in turn makes me cringe at that thought and screams "IDENTITY THEFT" blatantly outloud. If breaking into an account is that easy, then stealing someone's identity is just as easy.
