Lose it rules. Should be on this list.

It terrifies me how many basic end users are out there that are probably just loading all of their passwords into the servers of these companies. All it takes is a zero day or a missed patch and it could be game over for tons of users.

Probably fair but there are a lot more permutations of possible sentences than there are characters within a single letter or number. Its amazing how many systems are out there that don’t even enforce complexity.

This sucks. I currently use Trello but was excited about the prospect of some integration with my current Office 365 home subscription.

Not trying to be a jerk....but this is why you back up your data

Isn’t it inherently risky to put a vault of all my passwords into something that is web facing? How do I get comfortable doing that in the world of zero day vulnerabilities that may circumvent any authentication controls to the vault?

Exactly, I think that everything got folded into the word hack because its easy for the avg joe to understand, but it drives me bonkers as someone who is in the weeds on this stuff. I had hoped that as this gets to be a hotter and hotter topic that the avg joe would understand the difference, but instead it seems like…

You’re welcome to call it a hack if you’d like. I just dislike the use of hack in this instance. I wasn’t looking to pick a fight, I just wanted to point out as someone who is also an IT professional I don’t 100% disagree with the OP, and I just disliked your flippant dismissal of the counterpoint they were trying to…

Actually under federal law (18 US Code 1030) its about access not the term “hack”. I am an IT security professional.

IT Security Analyst. We do not call sitting at someone’s unlocked computer “getting hacked”

A hack is using inherent flaws in the design of a system to gain unauthorized access, not inherently having unauthorized access. If someone figured out this guy’s credentials because his password is 12345 or he wrote it down on a note on his desk then he was not ‘hacked’.

Good call. I also got in the habit of not eating my exercise calories except for on the weekend when I would do my longer workouts and had better control of my eating schedule and menu for the day.

While many of these points are valid, I think a better way to summarize this is that many people misstate their calories when calorie counting and not as much that there are inherent problems with calorie counting. It takes discipline not only to eat better, but to track it all as well. If you start to take shortcuts…
