How a small twitter message could influence the Dow-Jones:  See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-frequency_trading
and http://qz.com/77464/how-the-syrian-electronic-army-hacked-the-ap-and-who-are-these-guys-anyway/  (link article author = Mike Baker)
and combine the info in both articles to know what happens inside racks in pitch-dark concrete bunkers that do high frequency trading...
and suddenly a flash crash like this one...

55% of net users use the same password for most, if not all, websites. When will they learn?
This is something I always stress and sometimes wonder if any one actually listens.  :(

I guess a lot of users have never heard of Lastpass add-on tool to their web browser no wonder they're using the same password for most websites what a shame :-\ :o

Not that many people use Opera on a regular basis. We should look for vulnerabilities in more common browsers, n'est-ce pas?
