comment Webmail host knows my password
Having gone through something similar during an Intranet Site rollout, being able to recover the password doesn't mean its stored plain-text. It DOES mean that in the best case scenario, it's Encrypted/Decrypted and not one-way-hashed. stackoverflow.com/a/4948393/409025 . Still not a good thing that Joe Blow can read you back your password.

comment Invalid users trying to log in to my server
I'd also add "SSH disallowed from internet" or "SSH only allowed from certain IP's". I only allow SSH to my home router from my internal IPs and my work IP address.

comment Does Username + Password + Pin improve login security?
Mathematically a longer password (A-Za-z0-9... possibly special characters) is going to be stronger than a PIN (0-9 x4).

comment What should I do when my boss asks me to fabricate audit log data?
@user606723 "Get the request in writing, THEN refuse to do it." Lying to a liar doesn't make you honest. I get the impression that it's a "Put it in writing to Cover My Ass and I'll do it" then don't do it... not exactly keeping the high ground on that route.

comment Why do law-abiding citizens need strong security?
That must mean the President is doing a LOT of illegal things... look at all the security he has.

That's simple... everyone knows Macs can't be hacked or get virus', so it must be you reading things wrong.
