Changing Passwords

While reading this story I was shocked and I wasn’t. I was shocked that only fourteen percent of users never change their passwords and a whopping fourty one percent use the same password for everything. Then I thought about all that, and realized it really isn’t that surprising at all, now is it?

A survey from IT security company Sophos shows that just 14 per cent of users have a different password for every site they access, with 41 per cent admitting to using the same password for everything they do.

Maybe we should have a [H] Adopt a Noob program where we each get a normal user and educate them in security. I wonder if education in terms of these types of problems would be a better deterrent than anything else we throw at it.
