The yard is already 2016, which means that we all became one year older and wiser. However, the statistics of the analytical company SplashData has been disproving this opinion for a year already. At least in the matter of security on the Web. Most of us still do not care that someone can easily and naturally invade our privacy and put our private information on the Internet.
Recall that experts SplashData annually analyze millions of stolen passwords on the Web over the past 12 months and make a list of the 25 most popular of them. This year, the list is made up of 2 million stolen and leaked passwords, which, as you might guess, were invented by users rather backhanded than with all seriousness. All these people still do not understand that the creation of a complex password (and not the "123456" and "password" variants, which, incidentally, occupy the first places in this list) is one of the main components of the high-quality security of information stored on their computers or in the Internet .
The list of the 25 worst passwords of 2015 is as follows:
1. 123456
2. password
3. 12345678
4. qwerty
5. 12345
6. 123456789
7. football
8. 1234
9. 1234567
10. baseball
Welcome
12. 1234567890
13. abc123
14. 111111
15. 1qaz2wsx
16. dragon
17. master
18. monkey
19. letmein
20. login
21. princess
22. qwertyuiop
23. solo
24. passw0rd
25. starwars
If you drop the whole comic situation, that people still do not want to use any complicated passwords, you can even trace some of the trends in this list. Sports-related passwords such as "football" and "baseball", as in previous years, remain very popular. The list was added and new ones. Apparently, inspired by certain blockbusters, people began to use the passwords "starwars" and "solo". Also returned was the password "princess" (most likely, for the same reason), which was absent from the list last year.
Well, such passwords as "welcome", "login" and "passw0rd", you can not name anything else, as a direct proof of the stupidity of the people using them.
