Valentine's Day is coming up and hackers are preparing. They're betting that consumers get weak in the knees with the mention of the 'L' word.
A decade ago, the I LOVE YOU virus (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/736080.stm) spread from one machine to another since few consumers used protection. A decade later, "iloveyou" is the fifth most common password (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/21/technology/21password.html), "lovely" is number 18 and "loveu" is #23 and "loveme" is #43.
This year, hackers will likely concoct a special Valentine potion that uses the promise of being secretly admired combined with our prevailing addiction to sharing personal information on social networks upbw Wgbevyqd. Taa kmgq fp porh?
