On many networks, users are set up with their first names as the network login and their last names as the password. This obviously means that ANYBODY with access to a system could login as ANY USER IN THE SYSTEM. Once in, the adversary could read files, copy files, change files, destroy files, read e-mail, send "cuckoo" e-mail, erase e-mail, and probably a lot of other things that my limited imagination is unable to concoct.
If this is not an inviting prospect, contact a network technician to CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD. It's very easy to change a password to something that only you know.
For a higher level of security two options exist:
- Keep all files on some sort of removable media:
- CD-R
- floppy disk
- Zip disk
- Jazz disk
- Removable hard drive
When not in use, the disk would be stored in a secure, locked enclosure. The user would be responsible for backups. This practice is good in terms of redundancy. The more copies, the less likely it is for downtime from data loss. Data can be destroyed by theft, flood, fire, electrical malfunction, equipment failure, virus, or terrorism.
- Use an encryption program like PGP
A combination of the two methods is perfectly feasible.

New Jersey Fact: "New Jersey is a small state on the eastern seaboard halfway between Honest John Lindsay and the Liberty Bell. It is best known for its turnpike, Atlantic City, Imamu Baraka, Newark Airport and the Morro Castle disaster. Most of its leaders are in jail for stealing money...." Over thirty years ago, this was how a New York Times writer described New Jersey. The only things that have changed are that now Bloomberg has Lindsay's old job and Amiri Baraka figured out somewhere along the line that it's not too swift for an atheist to use a religious title. |
