<p>______________________________________________<br><strong>Unbelievable - most 
are still using simplistic passwords<br>
</strong>______________________________________________<br>
Research found that out of 96k passwords only a small amount, 26k, had 
used unique passwords.&nbsp; This means that out of the test group &gt;70% had 
simple easy to guess passwords.</p>
<p>
This leaves victims open to all types of abuse such as:&nbsp; cloned ID 
(both online and real), 
fraud, coercion, bribery, etc.&nbsp; Read more:<br>

Microsoft spills 250 million support beans<br>______________________________________________<br>
Anything you write in a forum or chatroom, etc. will eventually become 
compromised as Microsoft has demonstrated recently.</p>
<p>TIP:&nbsp; Never give real passwords in ANY forum (support or otherwise), if 
they really need a password then change it to a temporary one first then change 
it back once your support issue is closed.<br> </p>
