Actually most passwords go over the Internet as complex checksums not
the password itself. I'm not for capital punishment but I think if we
had vigilante squads knock off a few hackers then there would be less
identity theft except that much of it nowadays is done by organized
crime particularly out of Russia.

noozguru, I think I've gotten better with passwords though it's taken

That's why I kidded Willy the other day about updating OpenSSL on his
server. However it's hard to say if the exploit has ever even been
used since as I understand it can only return 64k of data and the
hacker would be lucky if it returned anything useful.
Always good to change passwords but at some point that might not even
work.
