My password here was 123456 for a very long time.

The article posted above by cynth is merely fear mongering. Sure "cracking" a password may be easy but HACKING is hard. I want anyone here (you are stupid if you do this) to attempt downloading any of the software posted in the article and try hacking or breaking into ANY site worth it's water like facebook, hotmail, google, yahoo or even TFP.

Until people stop throwing around the word "hacking" and grasp the efforts web masters have gone through to implement simple security measures, then you're still a luddite in my mind.
