At least he tried it, my pastor won’t even consider it because “I don’t understand why anyone would do that” …

I’ve tried educating him. Tried links that show positive uses of twitter / facebook / et al in ministry … !

Happened to our pastor last week, prompting him to close out his Twitter account that we had just got him setup with a few weeks ago. Disheartening to see him give up on it because of this one instance, but incredibly embarrassing nonetheless.

Good passwords don’t stop users from typing their passwords into malicious sites, like the ones that have been making the twitter rounds. We can’t only preach good passwords and forget about user education.
