I was taught that the proper way to store admin passwords for an emergency situation (such as admin gets hit by bus) was to
1. Write each password on an individual piece of paper
2. Seal each piece of paper in an envelope
3. Store the envelopes in a Safe/Deposit box that a limited number of people have access to, (company owner, CTO, CEO, IT Manager)
4. Put policy in place that requires passwords to be changed and re-recorded any time the envelope it is stored in is opened.
It may seem low tech, but it is probably the best solution for a small to medium sized business.
That's my USD$0.02

I don't think they were trying to implicate our new President in this with the title, it was more of an implication that those announcing it were trying to announce the breach while most of the nation was distracted by the inauguration in hopes that it might fall under the radar of the news media.
Submission + - MS says: Linux is inappropriate language
mocm writes: "The Inquirer has a story about a guy who wanted to use "linux" as his XBox Motto and got the message that this is inappropriate language. I tried it myself and got the same result. It seems that "linux" is on the same level as "sucks" and "baka" which it also won't accept. It will accept "linuxx" though and also "msbaka""
Submission + - Test Whether ISPs Are Modifying Your Web Pages (washington.edu)
csreis writes: Last month we learned that "Some ISPs are resorting to a new tactic to increase revenue: inserting advertisements into web pages requested by their end users." Have you wondered how often this is happening? And whether it's happened to you? The University of Washington security and privacy group and ICSI have created a measurement infrastructure to help answer these questions. Please come visit our site and help out with our experiments. In the process, we'll help you figure out if some "party in the middle" (like your ISP) might be modifying your web content in flight. We plan to share our overall results with the public.
