🔐🌐 Stat of the Day: Everyone knows passwords are supposed to be secret. But it’s not a good idea to take that literally, according to a new report from enterprise password manager NordPass, which found the world’s top 25 most-common passwords – a list that includes “secret,” “123456,” “password,” and “qwerty123” – would all take a hacker less than 1 second to crack. Other common passwords in the US include: “iloveyou,” “baseball,” “princess,” and “football.” In addition to using easy-to-crack phrases, NordPass found many people use the same passwords across their work and personal lives – making corporate networks more vulnerable when personal passwords are stolen, and vice versa.
