|
|
this could involve you so please read poeple have been hackedfrom fagex.net and sythe.org not this site yet so we are ok
Over the last week or so alot of people have been being hacked, both on msn and the forums. The main cause of this is people having passwords that are easy to guess and brute force. If you have a password that is lower then 6 or 7 characters then I suggest that you change it for your own saftey. Remember, if you get hacked, it's your own fault. Say that someone hacked your account all because you had a password that was easy to guess and someone got scammed by the hacker on your account, who's responsibility would it be? Your's for not keeping your password safe. You can be guilty of scamming without even scamming so for God's sake, keep your passwords safe please .
Tips:
- Don't use passwords that can be found in dictionary's. (ex. mother)
- Try and make your password consist of numbers and letters. A step beyond that would be symbols. (ex. i5am3cool*)
If you have any other tips, let me know and I will post them.

the anwser are capitals..
you said: i5am3cool or something
use: I5aM3CooL ..
even with i5am3cool are so many options.. capitals offer the solution to make the word : mother safe as password..
Mother, MOther, MOTher, MOTHer, MOTHEr, MOTHER, mOTHER, moTHER.. etc.. etc.. _________________ -coming soon- |

using captials is a good idea, if you have a good memory, me i woud forget wich ones where caps and wich wernt.
i just make up words for my password like...judofgal(not my actual password.. )
and yer i can remember words i make up...
also you should reguraly change your password, to somthing completley diffrent each time,say change you pass ever 4-8 weeks or somthing... _________________ msn: erocxdrah@gmail.com add mexD
