Password Security
September 18, 2008 – 8:31 am | by Michael JohnsonRepublican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin had her email hacked. I frankly find the event unsurprising. It only confirms just how little most people understand security and technology and where it’s going. It reminds me that the people I follow and enjoy online and the geeks around me are a small segment of today’s society. That a large part of the people in the world today don’t fully understand the potential, the danger, or the ease by which information can be found and shared.
A website I am a regular reader of is Heal Your Church WebSite. Dean Peters actually wrote an article about password before the news broke of Gov. Palin’s misfortune. And wrote a follow-up after the news was out.
So if you are wondering how to avoid Gov. Palin’s embarassment then read the following two links. Good, sound advice:
