Is your information safe online? The user names and passwords of almost 2 million people (most of them outside the U.S.) were compromised online for sites like Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, and Google, according to security firm Trustwave SpiderLabs. It's become clear that weak passwords are easier to guess, often leading to accounts being compromised. Combining letters and numbers, capitalizing letters, and making your passwords longer can help to prevent your profile from being hacked. Use different passwords for all of your accounts to help keep your personal information safe. You can add extra protection on sites such as Facebook, Google, and Twitter by opting in for dual authentication, which requires two steps to access your account. Also, be sure to update your passwords and security software frequently.
