It's unreverse psychology:
0. Start your project here, knowing that it's going to fail.
1. Give up.
2. Leave all your work on our servers, so we can cherry-pick it.

Privacy and security are major concerns when it comes to life online, but a survey by Mozilla reveals that a worrying number of people do not know how to stay in control of them. Can't imagine why we have such a problem

Quote: Mozilla says that a good starting point is to ensure that all software is kept fully up to date.
Oh yes... Win10 or the last Version of Android have so much improvements in field "privacy"...
... they are becoming masters in privately steal your information.

So they frighten us to give up privacy to be secure... and then they sell our privacy and we will be never secure again...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

You're probably right.

Only if it was noodle soup.

Of the many, many, many bad things about passwords, you know what the worst is? Password rules. And by that he means, 'fragrant effluvia of male bovines that helps wildflowers to grow in meadows.'
However, he seems to imply that's a bad thing? Perhaps I'm mistaken.

Oh good, my main password sabai-dee is not on the list.
|

|
|
|
Yup.
According to the rules laid down in the article, you're safe to keep using it.

I was commenting more along the lines of: There is no rule mentioned about posting your passwords on message boards.

A problem with his minimum length only "rule" is that once every site, system, etc adopts that then all the hacked passwords will be at least that long. Then his "only need to check this tiny list of hacked passwords with length greater than 10" won't be so tiny any longer.
A false sense of security.

I agree.
If you have rules, the hackers know them, and that means their job is easier.

The only winning move is not to play...

And nothing in the article or in the comments (or at least in as many of the comments that I read) mention passwords with short expiration dates. The worst are those that last 30 days. This instantly means that they are monthly and the easiest way of dealing with them is some algorithm that includes the month in its contents, e.g. P201703£ for March 2017, P201704$ for April 2017 (Using Shift-lastCharInMonth as the special char). [My actual algorithm for my 30-day expiring passwords is (slightly) more complex than this one and has been used successfully for 19 years!]

Try to explain about an algorithm to the secretary, the salesman or other non-tech positions in a company. Password rules end with a password that they can not remember and write down to a post it on the monitor or in the top drawer

Malicious apps were surreptitiously added somewhere along the supply chain. Why waste time and hack them after they leave the factory?

Having begun my time here covering the late 1990s email/collaboration battles between Lotus Notes/Domino, Microsoft Outlook/Exchange, and, yes, Novell GroupWise, it’s interesting to see IBM, which bought Lotus in 1995, pledging to support Domino and Notes for, well, an open-ended long period of time. Because the good die young

Ions oscillate in synchrony, but will do so only if there is some noise. So, now you can save them in a bottle?
