Its actually a good thing to help keep people more secure! Having your device turned into a paper weight always forces the issue of security.
Wow! Amazing!
Cool, hadn't heard of that one.
Me too ! :)
Some guy told me a story of how he gain access to a person computer during a audit check. The person has her dog's photo with the dog's name Jimmy at the workstation. The password policy requires a mixed of letters and numeric. He tried the password as "J1mmy" and gain access to all the file stored on the computer. So, you may not need a complicated bot to hack some people.
Honestly, if your using a default password to lock up value, you deserve to loose it.
Anything expensive shoulld be locked up tight, gotta keep it safe from those chinese...
Guay
And still many believe that linux keeps them safe...
