Most Popular Passwords In Much People Use It


    Most of us routinely use passwords so simple, a monkey could figure them out. In fact, “monkey” is one of our favourites.

    Amichai Shulman is the chief technology officer at Imperva, which makes software for thwarting hackers. Recently, he undertook a study of 32 million passwords stolen by an unknown hacker from Rockyou!, an online service that makes widgets for social networking sites like Facebook.

    The list is depressing testimony to our collective lack of creativity in the arena of personal security.

    “I guess it’s just a flaw in human genetics,” Shulman told the New York Times.

    Bottom line, if your password is your first name and your secret first name isn’t NEhBuT3W4l.6, better think about making a switch.
