A list of passwords to avoid.

The list of the most common passwords and thus the easier to hack.

Last night I was watching the news while cooking dinner and there was this news that capture my attention.

worst passwords of 2014

It was a list of the worst passwords for the year 2014 and the number one was "123456" and second in the list was "password". The worst part was when Ryan Williams said that those where the perennials in the list. The list is published by Splahsdata and company dedicated to security applications and services.

They came out with such a list by compiling from more than 3.3 million leaked passwords during the year 2014. The compiled info came mostly from North America and Western Europe.

My tip for today:

Although  the name password suggest "word" it is better if we think about a pass phrase. That means 2 or 3 words and numbers to make a most secured password. For example 2hot2handle or AuntLucy0hi0. Use phrases that mean something to you so you can remember them and include numbers or symbols to add difficulty.

see you soon with more tips.

New Year Resolutions

It is new year 2015!

I have kind of the same resolutions of last year: lose wait, save money, be healthy, etc.

I am trying to find a way to integrate physical activity in my daily life. I have tried going to the gym many times and it hasn't work to good for me. For once, the gym monthly fee does not agree with my plans of saving money. Second i have to drive to the gym since I live on a rural community, that adds gas to the expense. Third, this gym only provides machines and sauna, if there is any other service like spinning class or aerobics, then you have to pay extra $$$. I have tried running but it has its dangers too. I was thinking about buying a bike but it is also dangerous too.

So right now I am thinking on two options: internet training (daily burn) and buying an elliptical.

There we go again, doing a lot of research, reading reviews, prices, etc. It is hard to make a decisions when the reviewers opinions are so opposite one from another.On the other side there is daily burn.I will let you know later the results.

For now, I will just wish you a very prosperous new year 2015.
