cnd Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 DRAGON. Monkey. Superman. If you're reading these words at your work station and thinking they'd make great passwords for your computer, contact IT and tell them to take away your computer. Because you're a security threat to the company that employs you. SplashData has drawn up a list of the worst 25 passwords from the millions of stolen passwords hackers have been kind enough to post online. Unsurprisingly, number one and two on the list are "password" and "123456". What is interesting is that millions of people out there think that "dragon" is not only a really cool password, but a safe one as well. As for those who type "letmein" and "trustno1" into their password fields. Did they think they were being clever? The top 25: 1. password 2. 123456 3. 12345678 4. qwerty 5. abc123 6. monkey 7. 1234567 8. letmein 9. trustno1 10. dragon 11. baseball 12. 111111 13. iloveyou 14. master 15. sunshine 16. ashley 17. bailey 18. passwOrd 19. shadow 20. 123123 21. 654321 22. superman 23. qazwsx 24. michael 25. football http://www.news.com.au/technology/trustno1-the-25-worst-web-passwords/story-e6frfro0-1226201047089#ixzz1eKnEkmpo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
