I had to share
I'm not reporting a breach in this post. I have a couple of things that I would like to share with readers.
The following is the text of a real email received by our service desk this morning (names & numbers changed). I think I may have missed this person when I conducted information security training!
The service desk thought I might find some humor in this, maybe you do too. If you don't see a problem with this email then you need some training, eh?
The Breach Blog
I started writing The Breach Blog as a hobby with the intent of sharing insight about recent information security breaches. Information security is a passion of mine, and I hope some of you find the information here to be helpful. In the 5+ months since I started writing, the blog has begun to take on a life of its own. I've noticed that its time for a change.
Over the course of the next month or so I will be moving the blog to a new, and more robust platform. For those of you that don't know, The Breach Blog is currently hosted through GoDaddy's Quick Blogcast. In my opinion Quick Blogcast is an excellent platform for a hobbyist, but there are just too many limitations to what I can do with it. The new platform will offer better browser support, present a cleaner and more intuitive GUI, and allow me to add features.
In the meantime I will continue to write right here. Actually, I have a couple of breaches coming very soon.
Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoy!

Hi
I believe my computer password will expire on 2/5/08. How do I get a new one/ Do I just call-in?
Thx for your help
