Security by Meme
summary
Memes frame specific, actionable security advice: use LURP: long, unique, random passwords (password managers generate 50–60+ char secrets), avoid reuse (Xbox and Uber breaches trace to reused or phished credentials), treat MFA push-bombing as a real attack vector, and for low-tech users use a dedicated password notebook rather than reused passwords. Cryptography notes: MD5/SHA-1 are weak, SHA-2 is acceptable, never invent your own crypto, always encrypt data at rest, and beware social engineering for key theft. Code ecosystem risks include left-pad, Heartbleed, Log4Shell, Spring4Shell, and Apache Commons Text.
