TODAY IN SECURITY BUGS THAT SOUND LIKE DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL COVER BANDS: London, Ontario, police have made the first arrest connected to the Heartbleed bug, which has sent shockwaves through the IT industry. Youve undoubtedly read the articles urging you to change your passwords, but that can be more tricky than it sounds. Not sure what to change all those passwords to? Heres some advice, from Despair, Inc., to you. -If your current password is your favorite musician, change it to your ACTUAL favorite musician, not the one you CLAIM is your favorite musician. So Beethoven49! would become something like Nickelback4Lyfe. -If your current password is the street you grew up on, change it to the response you got when you first asked a school crush out on a date. If youre using something like MillerAvenue, youd change it to ItsJustThatIThinkOfYouLikeABrother. -If your current password is your pet, change it to a nickname you have for your pet. So RoverTheCorgi would become LittleMrSnugglePants. -If your current password is your boss name, change it to a nickname you have for your boss. So MrStevens would become LittleMrSnugglePants.
