Edward Snowden Thinks Your Password Sucks
Earlier this week, Ed Snowden sat down with John Oliver in what turned out to be his first real, substantive interview since his stint in Russia began. Now, Last Week Tonight has released an extra clip in which Snowden offers us all a few, handy security tips. First and foremost: Your password probably sucks.
For an eight-character password, Snowden tells us it can literally take a computer less than a second to figure that password out. Instead, you should come up with a passphrase, "a common phrase that works for you that's too long to brute force."
Or, if that seems like too much work, there is one other option—just say fuck it and come to terms with the fact that government agents and hackers alike are probably staring at your dick pics as we speak.
