Hacking: Is It Really That Easy?
Computer viruses spread worldwide in hours and cost hundreds of millions of dollars in damages and downtime. 500,000 credit card numbers stolen. Distributed-Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks take out major Internet portals. You’d think this stuff was child’s play. Well, in some ways it is!

Passwords: The Weak Link
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. In the security world, that weak link is the human element, and it manifests in the poor management of user passwords. As our society becomes increasingly wired we need to remember an increasingly large number of accounts, PINs, and passwords. I have at least 7 different email accounts, multiple network account/password pairs, building access codes, and bank PINs. Then there are my MANY various web access accounts. Everything we do needs a special code so that we alone can access our personal information. Passwords, pin numbers, access codes... Information overload!
