New research has highlighted the top most hackable passwords, allowing cybercriminals quick and easy access to the personal, private or even financial information you have behind it. Urging people with any passwords on this list to change them, experts at KnownHost warned: “Poor password security can provide easy access to vulnerable data in a matter of seconds.
All of these passwords could be cracked by cybercriminals in less than a second, according to the research: This includes using a mixture of numbers, letters and special characters, as well as avoiding putting them in order such as the abc123 password on the list. Longer passwords are also harder for cybercriminals to crack but this doesn’t automatically make them fool-proof.
