Conficker a.k.a. Downadup wriggles into cyberspace to infect millions of computers worldwide. The malware (malicious software) is exponentially multiplying at the rate of 1 million a day, making it the biggest virus by far.
What's troubling about the virus is that it triggers password cracking. Yes, it hacks passwords!
To circumvent this, experts advise mixing numbers, punctuation marks, and uppercase letters in creating passwords. So what do we do?
Get a piece of paper. Do some scribbling. Conficker can't hack the passwords on your paper. Neither can it hack the tough password combi in your computer.
