Passwords 101

Confusing Signal by David JordanComputer Sweden reports that user names and passwords for over a hundred accounts at government organizations worldwide have been posted on the Internet. The organizations include Indian ones too.

The breach is troubling in itself, but a casual persual of the passwords used by some of the Indian embassies and institutes will leave one gasping :

india01
misadmin (the user name is mis)
1234 (three accounts use this password)

Enough said.
