| I once ran into a cereal killer. He kept stabbing my corn flakes. Anyway, most brute-force programs can not hack your password if you make it exceptionally hard. Most run a dictionary file with numbers that try each word and number in succession. Try this. For your next password use a word-double digit number-another word-double digit number. Example: shepard56hoopla72 That is nearly impossible to hack using a brute force program and pretty simple to remember. Also, when you sign up for free email programs, don't use your real birthday or location. Also, make a silly reminder question with a silly answer that doesn't make sense that you make up and keep. It's too easy for anyone who wants to hack you to try and research such info on you online to use as info for password reset options. > Ive been so busy lately and I really didn't have time for > something like this, but Ive been letting everyone know > that me and several friends of mine have been the target > of a particularly creepy hacker.
