Sticky Note Password Security – Fun Friday

Security is not a laughing matter. At least not if it’s not Fun Friday leading into Labor Day weekend when we need a little humor after a long week. This week’s edition of Fun Friday comes courtesy of Aaron Miri (@AaronMiri). Honestly, if you’re not following Aaron on Twitter, you’re missing out. He’s quickly become one of my favorite health IT people to follow.

Here’s the great cartoon that Aaron shared:

My kids saw this and didn’t get it. Was a great opportunity for me to teach them about people who put their passwords on a sticky note on their computer and why that’s a bad idea.

I also loved the response to this tweet from Amar Yousif that confirmed that fake data can be an effective tactic against hackers since it raises the cost for attackers. So, hopefully you learned something and had a great laugh.

Enjoy your weekend!
