If yours is in the list, don't admit to it. Would potentially lead to people attempting to break into your accounts. (People other than the NSA/GCHQ - they are already in there and probably know almost as much about you as the angels on your shoulders).
What an unimaginative lot.

There was this website link that I was shown a while back. You type in your password and it'll tell you how long it would take for it to be discovered. Admin might know what i'm talking about. You heard of it?
Nope, i dont know it.
But I would be careful there, if I wanted to collect people's passwords and stuff, thats the perfect site to set up.

You don't need to give any personal details. Maybe we should use the local libraries' computers for this so that our own gadgets don't get hacked lol. (Tries to be serious. This is not a laughing matter).
