Lock Up Your Computer!

It's Computer Security Day

Now, this

is a serious business day!

I have been victim

to Trojan horses and viruses

 which galloped in

and took over my computer!

 Everything flashed…

pages opened and closed…

things shut down…

warnings were everywhere

and the sudden sense of panic

 and fear took me by surprise.

 I still do not remember

turning the internet protection

 off – but, somewhere along the line,

 I must have!

This day was established in 1988 –

 helping to raise awareness

of computer-related security issues.

 This is celebrated world-wide!

So, one way to look after

 your computer’s safety,

is to use good passwords.

So, here are a few

(commonly used)

dodgy passwords:

password (yep –

people actually use this!)

123456 and 12345678

(so much trickier!),

abc123,

qwerty

(while I love this…

using the first five letters

 on the keyboard

is not a good idea, apparently!)

letmein (I like this!)

 dragon (??)

111111 (ok, this feels dodgy!)

baseball (must be American!)

iloveyou (so sweet!)

 trustno1

and a few others –

but I couldn’t be bothered

 adding them!

If you use one of these passwords

 – change it!

Change it, now!
