BBC News Imagery – Literal as ever
Another fine example of BBC news editors for the website using related images without thinking beyond the obvious. In this piece about wireless security, we learn that WPA security can be cracked but only through brute force attacks (throwing all manner of words from a dictionary until you get the correct answer). So they helpfully provide this image:
The caption reads ‘Long passwords can thwart dictionary attacks’
What, long words like ‘home’ and ’straight’? or ‘home theater’? Ooh, ooh, I got it! ‘Homesteading’ – nobody will ever get that one.
Looks like a case of "We have space for a picture, just put any old crap in there", to me!
