The GCHQ, which is the British version of the NSA, found to have been spying on British citizens now say that we should 'simplify passwords' because it 'doesn't infurate attackers' and is actually 'harder to remember'. Now, I'm assuming that this shady government agency is worried about me forgetting my password to LimeLight, and not wanting to spy on my por- I mean, uh, browsing habits.

Seems legit.

my password is password
Mine is hunter2

For reference: https://www.bash.org/?244321=
clearly gchq is lacking in the bruteforce department, unlike the nsa
What's next? MI6 saying that you "shouldn't act like a normal civilian"?
