You Should Change your Passwords...

        I was just listening to one of my favorite netcasts or as some call it podcast, Its is Security Now with Steve Gibson and Leo LaPorte on Leo's NetStation T.W.I.T (This Week In Tech). Steve says your passwords should be memorable, have one upper case letter, one lower case letter, one number and some symbols.. because with each the amount of time to break it become X times stronger.. He has built a webpage program to show how many years it would literally take to crack, You can test yours here on Steve's Company site grc.com. Some thing like Pushing$th3$Boundies would take 1.15 thousand trillion trillion centuries to crack. Ace&K1ngs&Qu33ns would take 14.14 million trillion centuries to crack using online attacks.. So please take a look and Change your passwords. I also Highly recommend checking out Security Now if you want to learn more about how security work these days and how to stay safe..
