So all these sites around the net get hacked these days

Friday, July 26th, 2013

The method? Stupid people, like myself, using the same password on many sites. Ups 😐

Ok, so I’ve been on the internet since like .. 15 years or so and back then my security paranoia wasn’t this advanced. My short memory wasn’t this short either so back then I would use a set of the same passwords. I can really only recall 2 of them now and they were maybe like 10 or so back in the day.

Anyway, I’ve got a lot of accounts since then which use that same old password. Correction. Had 😀

I just went over my keepass list (god do I have many accounts) and changed each and every one of them to a password that is unique to that account.

Phew.

So … sites getting hacked, ha? Ok, paranoia level increased.
