The rather embarrassing recent hack of RockYou’s servers a few months ago provided researchers with 32 million passwords to carry out some interesting research on. You would have thought that with the all the media coverage of security leaks, privacy and confidentiality breaches that people would be more careful about what password they use, but no; one out of five Web users choose a simple, easily guessed password like ‘abc123′, ‘iloveyou’ or even ‘password’ to protect their data!
If you are guilty of using a simple password, or even the same password for every site you visit, change them now!
Mt advice; if you are a Mac user get 1Password (http://agilewebsolutions.com/products/1Password) – now!
