I am old enough to remember a time when Republicans pretended to care very, very deeply about email security.

he tweeted that his house was broken into and wife was “accosted,” along with a photo of his monitor to show an Alabama code for 1st degree criminal trespass.
Nobody broke into his house. Those were tourists having a normal tourist visit.

Back when Ferris Buehler’s Day Off was still in theaters, security people warned folks not to write their passwords on paper, because the janitor or coworkers (or Ferris) could find them.
Wearing my security hat today, I tell people that it’s more important to use individual passwords for each site they visit. If they can’t use a password manager, I’d rather have them write down individual passwords on paper than to store them in a file named passwords.txt or in a spreadsheet on their desktop. I make this recommendation based on the fact that I’ve never seen a hacker or ransomware download a copy of a piece of paper sitting on a desk.
I did not think I’d have to worry about someone so stupid they’d self-pwn their paper copies.

He didn’t just give away his gmail password. Based on those two passwords shown, he uses the same numbers and letters in all his passwords, so now everyone knows the template to ALL his logins.

Cell phone cameras should add a feature that, if it detects you are attempting to take a photo of a computer, iPad, phone, etc, asks you if you’d like to learn how to take a screenshot. I work for a tech company and nearly every week we get a customer who sends us a photo of their iPad screen because they don’t know how to take a screenshot.

In the turmpspeak that his tweet is written in, that means “I will never say anything about this again.”

First Mo Brooks leaks his own password, then Trump declares we must stop using computers.
Coincidence? I think not!
