SIN26: So what's your password!!!

So what’s your password!!!

Are you using a secure method of entry?

A recent security breach allowed the analysis of 32 million passwords (by Imperva) which has lead to concern in the world of blue chip security.

What would you guess was the most commonly used password that came out of this analysis…… ‘PASSWORD’? – well actually that came in 4^th.

Would you believe that the most popular password was ‘123456’, that’s right it’s as simple as 123 – with a 456.

Second was the even more impressive version for the lazy – ‘1234’ and for the more security conscious but equally less sophisticated, third in the list was ‘123456789’

So if you are an InfoSec professional; start pulling your hair out, if you use one of these blinding obvious password maybe now is the time to consider just how secure you wish your information to be and change it to a more secure password (and save the hair of your InfoSec professional)….

…. OH! and one more bit of advice which I thought worth passing on….. the experts advise NOT to use the same password for social networking as you do for your corporate systems.
