Is your account really secure?
Monday, September 15th, 2008By choosing ipHouse, or any good ISP, you may think that your account is automatically protected from random hackers. And you would be right, but only up to a certain point.
We can and do patch our machines and lock them down as much as possible. However, as an ISP, our job is also to make sure that information flows smoothly to and from your account. To a very real extent, you are in direct control of the weakest security link for your account, your password.
We have lately seen a rash of accounts compromised because they had passwords that were less than ideal. You may think your account isn’t worth hacking, but you would be wrong.
