Ever since she discovered the weather forecast websites, she browses to about 10 of them and tells me what they’re predicting about the weather. And usually while they’re predicting sunshine, it’s pouring rain and she’s asking me why they’ve got it wrong and what does it mean that there’s a 70% chance of something happening!

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. http://www.itworld.com/opinion/53670/beware-hacker-next-door#comments Security Opinion hackers passwords script kiddie Fri, 18 Jul 2008 10:22:44 -0400 ITworld staff 53670 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/security/53625/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? http://www.itworld.com/security/53625/enforcing-strong-passwords#comments Networking Security How-to passwords Vista Wed, 16 Jul 2008 17:45:03 -0400 Paul McFedries 53625 at http://www.itworld.com
