Security Issues: Change your passwords frequently & don’t use the same password for everthing

The top 3 most commonly used passwords in America are

12345
123456
123456789

Can you imagine that? Haha, who would use these passwords, maybe the newbies.

1 in 5 people use the word ‘password’ as their password for online banking.

This is inviting hackers to their bank accounts. Crazy right? It’s happening.

Hackers don’t target banks online but attack online forums and stores that hold your passwords WHY? Because most people use the same passwords for EVERYTHING.

Yeah!!! This is my first time in newspaper with a big picture in the newspaper. Yeah, I say big picture because I don’t always have a chance to be featured in newspaper right?

I am the 2nd runner-up of this Let’s Blog Penang contest. And the prize is RM500. Cool, right? And the whole post took me around 1 1/2 hours to write and upload the pictures and another 1/2 hour to touch up the whole post. And the best part, I did it at the last minute of blog registration. Whew… I am so lucky. Thanks to the judges, BlogFest Asia 2010 and Ministry ofTourism Malaysia.

BlogFest Asia 2010 @ Penang SUCKS!!!

That’s what I felt before actually attending the event.

Why I felt that way?

I got to know about BlogFest Asia 2010 while I was surfing the Internet. The thing that attracted me the most is the event is held in Penang at Wawasan Open University. As I had never attended any bloggers event, I quickly registered.
