Bloggers Hacked
Thursday, July 21, 2005
Audio : Listen

Blogs by Xiaxue and WonkyTong had been hacked into! WTF!

XX now wants the culprit caught. Apparently, her Gmail account also kena hacked and her 3000+ emails toilet-flushed!

Didn't Gmail say...
...Who needs to delete when you have over 2000 MB of storage?!

Now, whoever is so free (and cruel) as to do that! Years of hard work you know!? The person who did that had absolutely no respect for the authors of these two blogs, and any other blogger! It could happen to you and me too!

Well, what's done can not be undone (right?!?! Hmm...).

Moving forward, users should employ more diligence in protecting their digital data/information.

Brennan has some tips for everyone at here.

I have a small tip to offer too!

To make a relatively complex yet easily remembered (to yourself) password, just think of a phrase that you find easy to remember.

For example:
The following phrase,
I am going to kill that bastard hacker when I catch him!

becomes,
Iagtktbhwich!

To make it better still, replace some alphabets with numbers,
Iag2ktbhw1ch!

There, it was not so hard to remember right?


Ok, ok, my example was lame and lousy, but, you get the idea right? :-)

If the passwords were obtained through whatever a sniffer is, then the solution is not to have a secure password, but to figure out how not to send out your password in an insecure manner.

Hi Anonymous,

True. That seems the case with the hacking of the two blogs.

BUT, what I am presenting here is a suggestion on creating stronger passwords, that is protection of another form - which may/may not relate to this hacking incident at all! :)

Like I said, it's just a tip. Hope it was helpful to someone in one way or another. :) Thanks for reading!
