I worked at a government facility that the NSA intentionally tried to hack to test both their hackers and our security, and we would get letters if our personal computer was successfully penetrated. I never got a letter.<br /><br />Then Bush created Homeland Security. The bureaucracy read this F'tards publication and created Homeland Security Policy Directive 12 that codified this nitwits advice into a requirement for all government computer users. My long term password didn't meet the new directive, so I had to come up with another one, and a routine every 90 days. The first time NSA tested us after HSPD-12, my system and most everyone else's was penetrated. That should have been the wake up call. Instead, now my SF-85 form is available to whomever in China, and I was given a year of free credit monitoring from that jackhat Obama.Lelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531159384688653131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-68236325336217526912017-08-09T22:57:58.476-04:002017-08-09T22:57:58.476-04:00I do try to use something different, but how rando...<i>I do try to use something different, but how random can you make it?</i><br /><br />Use your background and training.

My SS account is much harder to access than is warranted. We jump through the hoops changing passwords and they'll get hacked again.
