Security Question

Do you feel annoyed when you try to sign up for multiple accounts online and have to remember all the answer to those security questions. If you are like me, you probably choose something easy to remember like the birthday because unlike you password, you do not need to use those answer that often ( unless you forget your password). That how I underestimate the power of security question and that is my biggest mistake. Apparently , hacker who try to gain access to victim online account take advantage of this mistake all the time. One of the most famous case is the time Sara Palin lost her yahoo email account because the hacker found out that she used all of her real life information for the security question which could be found on her Wikipedia. On the internet, a small mistake like that can lead to a disaster.
