Gawker hack reveals incredibly weak passwords

The most popular password among nearly 400,000 exposed by the Gawker hack was “12345,” according to an analysis done by a security firm. The most common passwords were uncovered by Duo Security, an Ann Arbor, Mich.-based two-factor authentication provider. “123456” was the most common password in the collection posted on the Web by hackers, followed by “password” and “iloveyou” The ease with which Duo was able to decrypt hundreds of thousands of the leaked passwords lends credence to expectations that cybercriminals will do the same.”]
