Just a friendly reminder that the middle of the year is when our email inboxes start to reach over capacity. With mid-terms going on, this might be the perfect opportunity to clean out and archive those email messages! This would also be a good time to change passwords.
According to Security Focus.com, online security professionals recommend changing your Internet passwordspasswordspasswords and account login information at least once every three months. The ideal password is long and has letters, punctuation, symbols, numbers, and uses both lower and upper case letters. Microsoft recommends using at least 14 characters (although some websites won't let you use one that long), and use a variety of letters not found near each other on the keyboard.
