above the law

via failblog

at first you might think the lesson here is to be careful your own tools and capabilities aren't used against you, but this vehicle is parked in a fire zone. just as the police cannot be above the law, security people should not be above the security policy. they need to set an example for everyone else, not operate on a "do as i say, not as i do" basis.

you use that password how many places?

from the wonderful mind of randall monroe at xkcd

don't let this fictional attacker's lack of action lull you into a false sense of safety. reusing your password does in fact open you up to attacks just as is described here and there are plenty of people out there willing to compromise your banking and other accounts for profit (though not all attackers will bother to set up a webservice to capture your credentials; phishing, malware, and user database compromises do an adequate job of capturing those as is).

sorry russia, i didn't mean to give anyone ideas.
