It is very wise to choose passwords that are no less then 8 characters in length (some security experts recommend at least 14 characters). In your password, there should be NO word or phrase, it should contain at least one number, one capital letter, and one symbol of some kind. Never use a password that can be guessed based on information in your personal profile or account. In that case, you might as well just hand your login over to the hacker. The password should be totally meaningless to anyone but you. Also, keep in mind, that once someone hacks into one account, it makes it that much easier to continue to exploit you based on the new information that they now have available to them, to try to get into your back accounts, email, work related files, and everything else that may be of value to you. The average loss a person experiences due to an identity theft is around $31,500 before actions are taken to cut the identity thief off. If that isn't incentive for a thief to break into an account, I don't know what is. Protecting your identity, all aspects of it, is completely worth it. No one needs that kind of headache. P.S. If you are one of the foolish individuals 1 in 6 whose passwords are: "12345", "123456", "password", or "iloveyou" change it NOW.

I do think that it will take a little longer for counterfeiters this time around, however. At least I'm hoping so. Now, as for the old bills, I can't really say. :) Just watch carefully!

Considering that they have already released the major details of the changes nearly a year before the new bill goes into circulation, I'm sure they are already working on it. Also, the older bills will still be legitimate currency as well, so nothing has really changed. Boy, don't I sound like a pessimist. :P Between various not-exactly-ethical foreign governments that would have an interest in creating counterfeit American currency and high-end very technical criminals, I don’t think it will take too terribly long to create a believable counterfeit bill that could stand up to some scrutiny.
