I checked in on some bittorrent progress today at lunch, noticed my I'm not sure the July 19 log snippet is related, but seems likely. Anyways, I've re-downloaded the files the attacker used and removed (for posterity.) I changed all passwords, IP Address, I found the evidence at about 12:24. Just wanted to share the need for strong passwords.
I second that recommendation. I always prefer to have passwords with the following features:
Minimum of 8 characters At least 1 capital letter At least 1 lower case letter At least 1 number At least 1 special character
An example of a good password (though since I'm posting it here, it can no longer be considered good) is:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Meets all the above specifications, plus is readable. Combining special characters to make letters also helps. Though at the moment, I can only think of 3 combinations...
|< == K >< == X |> == P
Anyone else care to add to this little list?
