Most Common PASSWORDS

**James48843** · 01-23-2010, 03:52 AM

Somebody hacked a website that had a million people's passwords in it. Then they posted all million user names and passwords on the internet.

Then a grad student downloaded it, and did a study- to find out what are the most common passwords people use.

Use one of these, and chances are very great someone is going to hack your account someday.

Is this you?

If it is, you are likely to be hacked anytime now. Better go change it....

Considering the complicated passwords required by the VA, don't all the government depts require same? Surely no one on this board would be so lazy as not to do the same at home...

That list of `most common' is more than `common' - it is pretty stupid !
