Arrghh.  I forgot to link the Yahoo article that references the Boston
Globe article.  This Yahoo article is what the CEO sent me.

The Yahoo article takes some liberty, IMO, with the original Boston
Globe article.  The Boston Globe article said:

"So which security measures offer a reasonable return on time and
effort? Although coming up with a sensible list of security actions
was not a goal of Herley=92s research, he does have some suggestions
based on personal experience. Start with bullet-proof passwords, he
said, even if your employer requires you to periodically reinvent them
or use too many (he juggles about three dozen as part of his work)."
