In the past I've never really paid much attention to security issues when it comes to user names and passwords. Frankly I figured it was all a lot of overblown hype. This led to an unfortunate incident that involved my website being attacked, apparently b...

What the!!?? Google Earth? Has a company taken over our world? No, just mapped it out for you to look at.
