re: Required password changes

When you have accounts that are holding 6+ digit numbers in them you want them to be secure. Though what you'll find in IT is that generally the password isn't the weakness, it's the human who can be enginered or tricked into giving away all your information.

The passwords I give to my employees range from 8-12 characters and only exclude special symbols. So our passwords come out looking funky.

One of our older employees did not understand what the hell phishing is or emails designed to steal your information, for almost 2 months her homepage on google was something to the effect of www.googel.com/advadei327732432adffav095ai;haibh039323404392403u54afhj20394u09jgafe and the webpage had christmas lights around the border of the website like TD gets every year when Chicken forgets to take them down.

Her emails kept getting hacked repeatable and low and behold it's because every time we would clean her PC out she would just download another keylogger or malware. I wouldn't have a cared as much if we were running VM's at the office, but these computers are directly on the network. I've made my pleas to the owners.
