Wwooww – Unbelievable, Thanks for sharing that with us.
Holy schmokes, that is kind of worrying.
Discourse needs a smiley of a bottom jaw dropping on the ground.
Carly,
Thats a bit scary.
Considering the number of people that use just a few passwords for almost everything from banking to forum logins this could cause a real problem. Makes me think I should change all of my important pass words again just in case I put some of the same ones on weaker sites.
Thanks For the info.
