from here

That's right, it's that time again. Time to change your password. This time it's your eBay password that needs changing.

Yes. Yes it can hurt. It only takes one. Don't be like Pandora. Don't release all the ills of the world wide web.

Locked Cardboard

from here (source image)

Security isn't just about using good locks. It doesn't matter if you have the strongest, most impenetrable lock on the planet - if the walls and door are made of a flimsy material then it's child's play to get through.
