This has always been a pet peeve of mine ever since I was IS Security Manager at a local hospital, I was amazed when I ran a password cracking program and saw the results. Many of you would probably not be surprised.
This comes from the New York Times.
"Not long after I began writing about cybersecurity, I became a paranoid
caricature of my former self. It’s hard to maintain peace of mind when
hackers remind me every day, all day, just how easy it is to steal my
personal data.
Within weeks, I set up unique, complex passwords for every Web site,
enabled two-step authentication for my e-mail accounts, and even covered
up my computer’s Web camera with a piece of masking tape — a precaution
that invited ridicule from friends and co-workers who suggested it was
time to get my head checked."
