بدترین پسوردهای دنیا در سال ۲۰۱۷

شرکت آمریکایی EPC Group پس از تحقیقات بدترین پسوردهای ۲۰۱۷ میلادی را اعلام کرد. برای تهیه این فهرست از اطلاعات مربوط به ۵ میلیون پسوردی استفاده شد که سال گذشته فاش شده بود. درهر حال این تحقیق نشان داد همچنان بدترین کلمات رمز ۱۲۳۴۵۶ و password هستند.

جالب آنکه در این فهرست برخی از ساده ترین و بی تاثیرترین پسوردها همچنان توسط کاربران استفاده می شوند.

به عنوان مثال کلمه رمز qwerty در فهرست بدترین پسوردها رتبه چهارم را دارد، admin در رتبه یازدهم و login در رتبه چهاردهم هستند.

جالب آنکه رتبه شانزدهم این فهرست نام یک فیلم و starwars است. میان بدترین پسوردها نام  چند خودرو مانند فراری و مرسدس نیز دیده می شود.

همچنین این تحقیق نشان داد مردان ۲.۸ برابر بیش از زنان از عبارت های ساده به عنوان پسورد استفاده می کنند.

به هرحال ۲۵ پسورد بد این فهرست عبارتند از :

Top 25 worst, most insecure passwords used in 2017

SplashData today published its annual list of the worst passwords of the year, using data pulled from over five million passwords that were leaked across 2017 by hackers.

Despite many well-publicized major data leaks in 2016 and 2017, many people continue to use weak passwords that are easily guessed. “123456” and “Password,” for example, were the two most popular passwords SplashData came across, as they have been for several years running.
“Unfortunately, while the newest episode may be a fantastic addition to the Star Wars franchise, ‘starwars’ is a dangerous password to use,” said Morgan Slain, CEO of SplashData, Inc. “Hackers are using common terms from pop culture and sports to break into accounts online because they know many people are using those easy-to-remember words.”

With data breaches from major companies so common, a strong password that consists of multiple random words or multiple numbers, letters, and characters is essential, and it’s also important not to use the same password for more than one account.

Safari has built-in password generating features, and passwords can also be stored in the Keychain and accessed on all of your iOS and Mac devices. Password management apps like 1Password, LastPass, or SplashID can also make remembering and managing multiple passwords simple.

SplashData publishes its annual list to encourage people to use stronger passwords. This year, the company’s data came primarily from North America and Western Europe, culled from data leaks. Yahoo data and data from adult websites was not included.

In 2017, there were several major data leaks from companies that included Verizon, Saks Fifth Avenue, Deloitte, and Uber, along with a huge Equifax breach that exposed the personal information of millions of people.
