Passwords and security

Everyday we use more and more services on the web and not only, that are protected with passwords. But are these passwords really secure, can we trust them.

Itpro.co.uk published a quite interesting article about organizations and there concerned about secure passwords. It seems that nearly three-quarters of IT professionals believe password security has become a bigger problem for companies over the last twelve months, according to a new survey.

According to itpro.co.uk
"Executives are increasingly concerned with the misuse of passwords amongst colleagues and the growing danger of internal and external threats to the network."

So probablly this is not the only things to worie about. Viruses and spyware is also more and more often
announced to cause big damages.

In short it is important to be very careful and to be sure that password is enterend in the right place.
