While Jezebel is correct in that passwords are hackable, they are not as
easily hackable as implied. The advanced security options in Word provide
varying levels of security and the highest levels combined with a password
of at least 8 random characters will keep the best hacking software busy for
a very long time.

Word documents. How secure is it? Could a savvy hacker find the
password fairly easily?
