"TIP: Consider a Rectangle. You may want to create many Rectangle in your lifetime; but each Rectangle will have certain characteristics and certain functions. For example, each rectangle will have a specific width and color. So now, suppose your friend also wants to create a Rectangle. Why reinvent the Rectangle? You can create a common template and share it with others."
As a common courtesy, I awaited Dr. Wachter response before publishing the post:
"Not sure whether we've been hacked or it's just some strange phase of the moon. But I see that several recent posts (good ones too!) are gone and have been replaced by techno-gibberish. I guess – if we're now popular enough to be worth hacking – this means that the blog has made the big time. Or so they must say on bad days in Redmond, Washington. Anyway, stay tuned. Our tech folks are on it..."
I am a regular reader of Wachter's World and look forward to new posts by Bob Wachter from the SHM Annual Meeting currently underway in San Diego.
Blog tip: It is a good idea to think of a difficult-to-guess password for your blog and to back it up on a regular basis.

How strange that a hacker would delete posts and replace it with random garbage instead of something... more malicious. Maybe it's just a bug. Or a belated April Fools.
ReplyDeleteHere's a great way to check out the strength of your password. I typed in a few of mine and found out they weren't as strong as I thought.

ReplyDeleteAm I the only one who thinks it's maybe not such a good idea to go online and start typing in your passwords?
