The number sequence “123456” has been named the worst password
of 2013, according to new research.
It finished top in a list of the 25 most commonly used passwords,
compiled from files containing millions of stolen passwords posted online last
year.
The word “password”, which previously held the top spot in the
rankings, slipped to number two on the list, according to SplashData, which
compiled the data.
Reading this all I could think of
was how lazy do you have to be to think right I need a safe and secure password
that will protect all my valuable information online, I know I’ll make it
123456, what idiot does that.
If you’re one of the idiots I just
mentioned and your password is 123456 or one of the rest of the top five which
were:
2. password
3. 12345678
4. qwerty
5. abc123
Then frankly you deserve to have
your details stolen or your accounts hacked etc. Because you’re asking for
trouble for being so lazy.
Having one of these as your
password if the equivalent of leaving your car unlocked overnight or going on
holiday and leaving your front door open, your s**t is gonna get nicked.
