Hackers

[Franny]

Because I am a lazy paranoid person, if we ever were to get hacked, everyone should go to one of my other sites that have closed down, and I will create a new Allride board and direct everyone there. I would make a backup, but I do not have time and am lazy. If someone wants to make a backup of our site, feel free to.

(The reason I am putting this message up is I heard about hackers shutting down a weyr on another site)

By the way, having more than a 13 letter password and including character and numbers helps to keep your account from being easily hacked.

Also, dictionary words are easily hacked.

On the password protection note.

Most common words used for passwords: GOD, BEER, LOVE

Most common passwords for security: Birthdays, holidays, and addresses

Now having a password of random letters and numbers... 139adg9345 are just as easy to break as others.

a Secure Password would be:

Þ_/\/aFaMeRE~`2

As you can see you notice that there are weird characters and some that you are familar with... the first one is (Alt+0222) on your num pad. So that is something that almost all other password generators cannot detect.

^_^ Have fun and stay protected.
