Sidestep the latest Internet scam

by Gabrielle on April 30, 2010

Think you have a password that’s really hard to crack? You may not want to use it more than once. Turns out, some websites have “back doors” that allow unscrupulous people who work for the website to see your username and password. And, some of these folks are plugging that information into other websites—like banks, Paypal accounts and Facebook—to see if they work there, too. The safe solution: Use a different password for each of your online accounts.
