I think its interesting that passwords have been undergoing a transformation as of late.
Is password hacking really still that big of a deal? I mean, most big hacks into retail places like Target, Best Buy and others are done by getting into their POS (point of sale) systems, or hacking their networks to get at the customer data.
I just don't see a lot of one off doxxing to get into a persons email or financial records. Most groups are going after the big scores, not small potatoes stuff like a few hundred cracked password protected accounts.
I could be wrong, but it just seems like even when you protect your accounts with a strong password and triple layer redundancy and six-step protection, all it takes is one SQL injection or an Adobe Flash flaw and all that work is useless because the company holding your information was lax with their own security.
