Inadvertent Social Engineering - It's that easy?!?

 So what are you saying, you married him for his looks?   ;D  You are very correct about diabetes, when my blood sugar level gets too high or too low, I can't think any better than a 2 year old.  (Now just wait for the jokes to start flowing.)

For myself, it's less about blood sugar level, and more about blood alcohol level. :P

I debated about posting this, but I figured perhaps not too many have read the article.
Quite a bit about Social Engineering in it

Interesting article. Not sure if I agree with everything, but a lot of it.

The whole "secure password" thing kind of irks me. e.g.

82&#jkfh&ih

is less secure than:

ifihadahotdogi'deatitwithmustardtodayortomorrow

Which is easier to remember? But, that whole debate has been raged over enough.

The bit about Kevin Mitnick was interesting. :)

If memory serves in re. high-school biology, we convert alcohol to sugar  :P.  Although, alcohol has been known to create symptoms similar to insulin imbalances (one (1) grandfather died of diabetes, btw, and the other of alcoholism, so it prolly runs in the family  :-\).
