Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn passwords stolen
There were some other sites as well, but these were the big ones. The article I’m linking below talks a lot about Botnets and Keyloggers and what makes a good password and things such as that, and we’ll be discussing all of that as we wrap up the semester (although if you want to read a scary story about new types of BotNets, just head over to this story on Ars Technica). But just be aware that although the list of stolen passwords from these sites that originated in the U.S. is very small, you should always use robust passwords when first creating them.
How exactly do you do that? There’s a hint right here on this page, but I’ll just tell you anyway.
Later.
