Finished with your taxes? Good. Now go change all your passwords.
It’s a daunting task but technology experts say we really need to do it now. They have apparently found a problem with encryption used to keep email, social networking and e-commerce transactions safe and secure. The weak spot is called Heartbleed and it’s been out there for a while.
If you dread having to remember a slew of new passwords, try this trick. Think of a sentence for each account that you won’t forget. Use the first letter of each word as your password. Throw in a digit or special character to make it super-secure.
