plain text: IE has many users, 100 gigabytes of (cookies?) data? sure it wil be fishing ground for many crackers. what do you think?
Did you actually READ the linked article? It makes no mention of IE.
He meant IEEE, pretty clearly.
Nope, he actually meant IE and his following messages (that were removed in the meantime) were really outside the scope of the discussion.
Yep, I've got a mail this morning from IEEE. As most "Woopsie, this is our fault, so here some lovely sand for your eyes", the message is composed as follows:
- 4 lines to explain the security issue
- 34 lines to explain TO ME how important is to select a strong password, to change it often and not to use the same for several websites and so on ...
- 2 lines for actual excuses
Also, the mail says that "IEEE has terminated access to your account under your current password" and that the following login I have to set up a new password. However, I had no troubles logging to myIEEE and IEEEXplore with my old password (that I've since changed). Go figure!
Cheers,
