Security through ignorance?

It’s nice to see that a list of passwords hasn’t changed much since 1997.

Common Passwords: The top 20 passwords are (in order):

password1, abc123, myspace1, password, blink182, qwerty1, fuckyou, 123abc, baseball1, football1, 123456, soccer, monkey1, liverpool1, princess1, jordan23, slipknot1, superman1, iloveyou1 and monkey

Although as I recall, top 3 admin passwords back then were password, god and superadmin.

Oh, and speaking of fiber optic…

…that I was whining about here – Verizon already rolling with it. Some of my clients in Long Island, NY and Fair Lawn, NJ are the game. My OptimumOnline cable, however, isn’t all that bad with 1Mbps/6Mbps upstream/downstream, but Verizon’s prices are unbeatable.
