email passwords

 Hi Allessandra,
 Was it you who mentioned a hacker entry in your email system, through a
 password of someone's name?  Hackers can set dictionaries to work on
 passwords, and they tirelessly go through the alphabet, though I guess
 there are safeguards against this now. My son's advice, for the time
 being, is to place symbols for vowels or consonants in your password,
 making detection a little harder.
 All the best,
 Elly Bade
