REFLECTOR: Spam to the Reflector

[Brian Michalk via Reflector]

As many of you are aware, Tim's email account sent spam to the Reflector 
and VOBA lists.

I have unsubscribed him.

Fellow aviators:
If you wish to have simple passwords, you reduce the security of 
everyone*.  This is inexcusable.  Get a strong password, and do not use 
it across multiple accounts**.  The only real solution these days is to 
use a password manager.  There are many in the "cloud" that are 
sufficient for most people's needs.  I personally use KeePass and 
synchronize that password file using OwnCloud.

Passwords are too important to leave unprotected.

Please don't give the rest of us viruses because you were too lazy to 
use a strong password.

Imagine the embarrassment if you sent porn pictures to your church. 
Maybe that, or something similar is what is needed to shame people into 
choosing stronger passwords.

Yes, I'm blaming the victim here.

*  Everyone is weaker, because we assume you are who you claim to be.  
Targeted phishing attacks rely on this assumption.  When you are hacked, 
your account could send email with malicious attachments, and if it's 
related to a recent conversation, then we open them, assuming it's a 
legitimate email.

** Each account that holds your personally identifiable information 
gives an attacker more information about you to hack your bank accounts, 
or those intimate photos you store on iCloud.
