How Herbert Thompson stole his friend's identity
This is a great account of how easy it is to break into people's accounts.
One risky point
Single point of failure. That's the right term for talking about the mess in San Francisco, where last week the city government finally regained control of its backbone network. Terry Childs, the net admin jailed for locking down administrative access, turned over the passwords during a secret visit from Mayor Gavin Newsom.
Beware the hacker next door
The most common hacker is someone who gets to work early, takes his or her turn cleaning out the office fridge, tells funny stories at lunch and, at some point, makes a very dumb move. It often starts when this hacker-next-door sees a file directory or workstation that’s just too juicy to pass by, like one named "Salary Comparison." It’s simply too tempting NOT to peek inside.
Enforcing Strong Passwords
You, as a savvy Windows Vista user, know how to create a strong password, and you can certainly pass along that information to the other people in your home or business, but how can you be sure that they'll take up the strong password gospel?
