System Administrator Appreciation Day is an annual ICT Holiday created by Ted Kekatos in 2000. It takes place in the last Friday in July, hence today is the 16th SysAdmin Day. So as they put it: Remember this is one day to recognize your System Administrator for their workplace contributions and to promote professional excellence. Thank them for all the things they do for you and your business.

To keep track of ICT Holidays, you can use the International ICT Holidays calendar, a Google calendar maintained by the Computer Engineers Association of Spain (ATI).

    Based on the news, security breaches happen because people hook vital infrastructure up to the Internet, store passwords in plaintext or MD5 unsalted hashes, use weak passwords, neglect software updates for more than a year, fall to phishing attempts, fail to use parametrized MySQL queries, or some other variation of "babby's first sysadmin mistake".
