A fired IT employee took his revenge on a for-profit online college before he left, changing a password on an account that stored email and course material for 2,000 students, the Indianapolis-based online school has alleged in a lawsuit. I bet that's not going on his resume

You'd think one of the students would have already cracked it.

Sensing a possible stall in your coding career? Here’s how to break free and tap your true potential. You mean I should stop coding in QBasic?
|
|
|
|
|
Hey, QBasic is cool
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

I've spent years developing dead ends! It's a very carefully nurtured skill.

The phrase “You are Not Expected to Understand This” is probably the most famous comment in the history of Unix. Is this going to be on the exam?
|
|
|
|
|
I actually learned and used UNIX (no Linux!!!) and never heard that...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Did you learn Unix, or the kernel?

Security breaches and data leaks are, obviously, a major concern, but they do have something of a silver lining. Leaks of passwords may open up the risk of individual accounts being targeted, but they also serve as a fascinating insight into the level of security people use for online services. And a lot of very familiar, very depressing items

Hey, good one. I'll try that one too. Easy to memorize and that ought to be totally unhackable. No one would think of that encryption routine. Very strong.

My favorite password that beats most security requirements is: asdf123$
The best thing about it is that I can do it with just one hand.
|
|
|
|
|
Begs the question, what are you doing with your other hand?
This space for rent
|
|
|
|
|
Holding my mouse, of course

Is that what the kids are calling it nowadays?

No sir, it's a technique to decrease steps of entering a password. By not having to lift my right hand off of the mouse while I reset someone's domain password, I reduce steps and get back to real work. That is much easier and efficient than doing the typical P@$$w0rd.

Where can I download that list to check if one of my passwords is on it?

We see this list every year but where does it come from? Who is keeping these un-hashed passwords and then revealing them to the public? Isn't that even less secure than a pathetic password?
Slogans aren't solutions.
|
|
|
|

It's the collective result of every breach of passwords that are either unhashed or so badly hashed (eg unsalted MD5) that they're brute forced in the last year.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
