When a team of security researchers recently discovered a massive cache of two million login credentials for popular sites like Facebook, Twitter and remarkably a large number of the passwords were overwhelmingly easy to work out. For example, “123456″.
We cannot emphasis enough the importance of having a password that is harder to detect. Hackers will undoubtedly be reading the security research reports and the last thing they need is passwords that are so easy to work out.
For the record, these are the top ten most popular passwords in the newly discovered database. If you have one of these we would recommend that you change it immediately.
