Don't lent out your password

| 3 Comments

Watch out, anytime you share your userid and password you're potentially committing or facilitating a felony, in the US that is. If you subscribe to, for example, the New York Times website (a free login) and let someone else log in with your userid, you might end up in the slammer -- at least if you appear before Judge Buchwald.

That's what you get with lawmakers and judges who's password is their wife's or cat's name. They just don't understand security, and i'm not claiming i do. But at least i know enough to know i don't know enough.
