Subject: Hackers

There has been a number of hacked comps in the last day or so, be forewarned! Shawn looks like he lost one and Heather is working to try to recover some as we write (or read as the case may be :)). It appears that whoever it is is doing this alphabetically since all the ones hacked today started with "a" in the user name. Make sure to have a secure password. Mix up with Capitals and lower-case letters, use numbers (but not at the end of a known word) and even special characters (^*$&). The main thing is that these programs usually check against a dictionary so DO NOT use normal words! Any questions, just ask and Heather or I can certainly give you some pointers.
