"...... who have since apologised for the cock-up."

That's what happens on smut sites. And to think ye were only commenting on the Irish papers re "working to the bone... etc. etc." earlier.

Paris..... well, you know....

'The theory runs that access to a profile on a medium-sensitivity site, such as Facebook, could be a stepping stone on the way to owning a more sensitive online banking account or similar tasty miscreant treat.'

Surely no-one would be stupid enough to use the same password on something as inherrantly unsecure as a facebook account as on their online banking? Oh wait - This is facebook users we are talking about. Carry on.

How daft can people be ???

I'm sure that the saying is true ... given that some are using the same password for their eBay, session & emails ...

Use a lame password on that kind of social website because we have a lame lifestyle but banking accounts should be treated to stronger password.

OK I'm being lame in my statement but lames are being bankrobbed. Excellent!!!

I have been known to use the same password on multiple sites, but I've always managed to keep banking ones separate, just in case anyone managed to nick one of my lower-grade passwords.

Not that I have much to do with Facebook anyway, apart from creating an account to stop someone else impersonating me.
