Graham Cluley, a Security Expert and blogger from Sophos got in contact after reading my recent posts on the latest Monster jobsite breach and the problem website passwords.

Graham had also highlighted the same issues with website passwords on his blog, and has put together nice little video explaining the issue, which he has kindly allowed me share below.

Anytime you (or indeed anyone else) wants to embed one of our videos that's absolutely fine.

They're designed to educate people on the threats (hopefully with some humour) rather than be a cheesy sales pitch, and hopefully they succeed at that.
