Response to: A Joke?

Today's larger organizations often have more than one computer. Sometimes, a user will make their password the same on one system as it is on another. "One sign-on" or "Single sign-on" solutions contribute to this phenomenon.


So, while if focused on a single system, you have a point. If the scope of an attack and penetration effort encompasses more than that, then it could be the thread that unravels the entire sweater.


That's beside the point, however. If there's a hole, it should be plugged.
