[Infowarrior] - GCHQ defines "irony" in security advice

[Richard Forno]

GCHQ recommending users NOT change passwords regularly, yet offers no real evidence supporting this idea other than some basic thoughts.  While I agree that password aging is a moronic approach that causes more problems for users and techies alike (and the only time I've ever written down a password!) one can't help wonder if this recommendation was originally titled "Help Make Spying Easier."

(I do, however, agree w/the other recommendations, though)
