drowssaP... Not Secure!

Today we learned about password hacks and tips for having a secure password.  Password hacks are very common... especially if you have a common password. (as viewed in the green table/chart) Several different methods are used for hacking passwords, including the obvious ways of watching people type and looking at the sticky note they put on the top of their screen to also using hacking software.  Some tips for making secure passwords were to use letters, numbers, and symbols.  Also, you can use total jibberish that actually means something to you.  Luckily, according to the green table, none of my current passwords contain the most commonly used words.  To make my own passwords more secure, I could add some random letters and numbers into the password to spice it up... but also to make it more difficult to hack.  At this point, I do not think I need to change any of my passwords, but they definitely could be jazzed up or added to.
