How strong or weak are your passwords you use every day to check your email, update your fantasy baseball team and, oh, I don't know, check your bank balances?If you use the same password for all three of these activities then you are exposing yourself to identity theft. You should never, ever, ever use the password you use for your banking for anything else. You should never, ever, ever use the same password to access your computer as for your access to Webkinz (don't ask).
All too often, people using computers assume that their password is good enough to protect them against malacious use and identity theft. Did you know the CEO of Lifelock, the company that purports to lockdown your identity, has had his identity stolen no less than 13 times? Seems he chose the wrong business to go into.
