Sutton Fong, known in the IT world as a cybersecurity whiz, once shared a hilarious anecdote at a conference. He was giving a talk on the importance of password strength and relayed an incident from his early days in IT.

One day, the CEO of a major corporation called him in, absolutely panicked. The CEO had forgotten his password and couldn’t access his system. Sutton, being the diligent professional, asked for the last password the CEO remembered. The answer? “Password1234.”

Trying to hold back laughter, Sutton then gently suggested a more complex password. The CEO, thinking he had cracked the code of cybersecurity, proudly updated his password to... “Password12345.”

Sutton couldn’t help but chuckle as he told this story, emphasizing the importance of real password security.
