This is why I’ve been experimenting with public passwords and open membership postcorporate identities

The hacker, who goes by the handle GMZ, told Threat Level on Tuesday he gained entry to Twitter’s administrative control panel by pointing an automated password-guesser at a popular user’s account. The user turned out to be a member of Twitter’s support staff, who’d chosen the weak password “happiness.”

How symbolic is that that they’re depicting “happiness” as a “weak” word! When it comes to the high-tech world of professional security, HAPPINESS simply cannot be a factor!!!
