The 25 Worst Internet Passwords of 2011

A password management application provider called SplashData ranked this year’s worst online passwords. The rankings are created by gathering data based on millions of stolen passwords posted online by hackers in 2011.

SplashData CEO Morgan Slain Said:

“Hackers can easily break into many accounts just by repeatedly trying common passwords, Even though people are encouraged to select secure, strong passwords, many people continue to choose weak, easy-to-guess ones, placing themselves at risk from fraud and identity theft.”
