WINTER SPECIAL Do you use "123456" as your pass- word for any websites? How about "qw- erty"? Maybe 123456789? If you do, you're not alone. In fact, nearly 1,000,000 people use those passwords. But there's a problem. Each of those can be cracked in less than a millisecond, leaving you and your personal information exposed to data thieves. So what can you do to stay more se- cure, but still be able to remember your passwords? DON'T REUSE PASSWORDS Using the same one or two pass- words for everything drastically re- duces your personal security. Obvi- ous, right? Maybe, but that doesn't stop over 80 percent of people from reusing pass- words. Instead, use a unique password for each website you visit. Most people can't remember that many passwords, so I recommend us- ing a password management service like LastPass to safely store your pass- words for you. It can even generate passwords that are practically impos- sible for computers to guess. USE LONGER PASSWORDS Hackers don't type in passwords one at a time. Instead, they often get mil- lions of them at once from data breach- es. They target the short passwords first and, with enough passwords to compare, they're able to decrypt thou- sands of them in just a couple of hours. If your password is 8 characters or longer, however, there's a good chance it will be overlooked. Hackers don't want your password: they want as many as they can get in the shortest time possible. Assuming it is not a common password such as "password123," each additional character over eight could po- tentially add days, months, years, or even decades to the time it would take an algorithm to crack, making your password very unap- pealing to hackers. I suggest using passwords with at least 10 characters to keep yourself off hackers' radar. USE SENTENCES AS PASSWORDS Which is easier to remember: "Tl|_|,BwwB2R" or "My favorite kind of pie is chocolate! "? The latter, of course. However, you don't want to use re- al words, as they are easily cracked. Instead, use only the letters from your sentence as a password. In this instance, "My favorite kind of pie is chocolate! " turns into "Mfkopic! ." If you're feeling clever, you could even change "pie" to "3.14" (pi = 3.14, in math terms), then the "1" to a " ! ". This leaves you with "Mfko3.!4ic! " – a password which can- not be easily guessed and would take 200 million years to crack. As long as you avoid using common words or phrases, this simple tech- nique will keep you much more secure than most complex, hard to remem- ber passwords. Remember: a password that is hard for you to remember is not always hard for a computer to guess. For useful resources about creating strong passwords, visit www.calibre- forhome.com.

Vectren reminds customers about safe snow and ice removal around gas meters Vectren Energy Deliv- ery ( Vectren) wants to re- mind customers to proceed with caution when removing snow and ice around natural gas meters at their homes or businesses this winter. SAFE SNOW AND ICE REMOVAL Ice and snow accumula- tion can interfere with the proper operation of the gas meter given it needs to be able to release gas in case of a malfunction. Snow remov- al activities can also pose a hazard to the gas meter as- sembly or piping and result in a dangerous leak. Follow these guidelines when re- moving snow and/or ice: • Remove large icicles hanging over meter assem- blies and appliance vents. • If your gas meter is near a sidewalk or driveway, make sure whoever removes snow from your property is aware of its location. • Use a broom—not a shovel—to clear snow from your meter assembly and vents. • If your gas meter is en- cased in ice, do not attempt to melt and/or chip the ice, as this could cause damage to the meter. Allow the ice to melt on its own. • Particular attention should be paid when mov- ing snow on a commercial lot. Be sure not to pile snow around gas meters. • Consider installing driveway entrance reflec- tors around gas meters in close proximity to a road- way or driveway. As always, if you suspect a gas leak or if your meter has been damaged, call Vectren at 1-800 -227-1376. Pregnant... or think you are?
