There have been some issues in the Sims Community lately with password safety. Don’t get me wrong, this seems to happen every once in awhile no matter which online community you belong to, it’s not relegated to video game communities at all. But still, this has happened in the Sims Community recently and it really sucks for those involved. I’m not going to speculate here on who hacked into those accounts or how safe/unsafe the hacked parties’ passwords were because in the end it would be just that: speculation. Kinda like assumptions, that.
No, I’m going to point you to The Offical Gmail Blog which has written an article about choosing a smart password that is worth a read: http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2009/10/choosing-smart-password.html
Problem Number 1 (Re-using passwords across websites) is the one that caused the most trouble in the latest dustup in the Sims community, I think.
We now return to our regularly scheduled programming.
