Top 10 Worst Passwords Of 2016 You Should Never Keep, Else You’re A Dumbo

The year 2016 was rough regarding data security and the thing that enhances the frustration of the advocates of cyber security is the pathetic choice of passwords people have on the internet. Keeper Security has released the list of the most popular (worst) passwords used in 2016. It is highly recommended to set a password that is strong and can’t be guessed easily.

Apassword is used to protect people’s devices and online accounts from unauthorized access. But some people just don’t get it and make sure that their password is the dumbest of all. Seriously, it’s 2017 now. Your internet life is as important as your real one unless you’re some wannabe cave dweller hiding somewhere in the forests of Amazon.

Keeper Security has released the list of the most common passwords for 2016, but I would like to call them the ‘worst passwords’ and people should avoid using passwords which are guessable.

THE AWARD FOR THE MOST POPULAR PASSWORD FOR 2016 GOES TO 123456.

Last year was full of different data breaches. Yahoo Inc. (Altaba Inc. in the future) announced their huge data leak involving 1 billion accounts. The research team at Keeper Security was able to harvest and analyze 10 million publicly available passwords that resulted from various data breaches last year.

Top 10 Worst Passwords You Should Never Keep

Rank	String
1.	123456
2.	123456789
3.	qwerty
4.	12345678
5.	111111
6.	1234567890
7.	1234567
8.	password
9.	123123
10.	987654321

The actual list includes 25 passwords which account for around 50% of the 10 million passwords. Most of these passwords are predictable as hell, even if they’re long. An interesting thing is the password 18atcskd2w0, which is assumed to be used by internet bots which create online accounts and spread spam messages.

It has been advised to keep a secure password with alphabets, numbers, and special characters. Cracking a simple password is a child’s play for password cracking software which use brute-force technique to guess it. And the people who think, Why would anyone hack me?”, won’t even get a chance to regret after their details get compromised.

Donald Trump: ‘Full Report’ On Hacking In First 90 Days

President-elect Donald Trump said his administration would produce a full report on hacking within the first 90 days of his presidency and accused “my political opponents and a failed spy” of making “phony allegations” against him.

“Totally made up facts by sleazebag political operatives, both Democrats and Republicans,” Trump said in a Twitter post Friday, adding in a later tweet, “My people will have a full report on hacking within 90 days!’’

In a flurry of early morning messages, the president-elect also suggested that the intelligence community had leaked damaging information about his alleged ties to Russia, after news reports published information about a dossier claiming the Kremlin had compromised him.

“Russia says nothing exists,’’ Trump said on Twitter. “Probably released by ‘Intelligence’ even knowing there is no proof, and never will be.’’

In messages sent before many Americans reported to work, Trump took to social media to share with the public his thoughts on a range of issues Friday, including congressional moves to repeal Obamacare — calling it the “‘Unaffordable’ Care Act” — and the testimony of his cabinet nominees which has sometimes differed from his stated views.

Trump also commented on the Justice Department’s internal probe into the FBI’s handling of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private e-mail server Friday, denouncing the reaction by Clinton aides who said again Thursday that Comey cost her the election.

Trump said investigators had been “nice’’ to Clinton and that the former secretary of state’s loss in the presidential race could not be attributed to actions by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the final days of the campaign.

“What are Hillary Clinton’s people complaining about with respect to the F.B.I.,’’ Trump said on Twitter. “Based on the information they had she should never have been allowed to run – guilty as hell. They were VERY nice to her. She lost because she campaigned in the wrong states – no enthusiasm!’’

What are the some of the best programming tips and tricks | Padsa Information

• Readability is the path to more interesting projects within a career.
• Readability is the path to knowing what you wrote 5 years ago, and makes code reuse actually viable
• Readability is the path to acquiring protégées that can learn from your style.
• Readability that is understandable by others allows people to appreciate your code at a level of architecture, not just functional.
• Readability is the path of lease resistance when you have a bug in your code.
• Readability is the how you put ideas into understandable text and syntax, much like writing a paragraph in natural language.
• Readability is somehow not a priority for most other developers, however it’s probably pretty important to your development director, if you work for one.
• Readability is more important than most believe. With moore’s law, it’s even more important to focus on readability than pre-mature optimization.

Here’s more:

• Most schools and colleges teach computer science like trade school skills. How to fix a car. How to be a dental assistant. How to be an admin.
• Most schools and colleges don’t realize there’s a difference between Computer Science and Programming. These are different.
• Most of the people applying for job in California are Programmers, when the job actually requires a Computer Scientist.
• Most people only know one or three programming languages. I personally believe you need to know between 7–8 of them to really master the idea of programming.

Psychology wise?

• Most programmers are very insecure about their programming skills and end up in bandwagon debates over which programming language is better.
• Following that, most don’t realize that each programming language is just a tool that’s better at something while other is better at something else… Like speaking Spanish while in Spain, or knowing Chinese in the middle of China down. Right tools for the job.
• Most programmers are habituated to just google everything, that’s how they were taught.
• Most insecure programmers rave about how “compact” their code is. Which serves very little purpose on compiled languages.
• Most insecure programmers focus on hyper tuning a few lines of code. Good programmers focus on delivering functional and useable software.

Habits….

• Most programmers follow the syntax and structure of the style they were taught. Very few question the style they were taught. Examples are {’s on the if-statement line, or on the next line vertically aligned with the }.
• Most programmers don’t make diagrams before they begin experimenting. Many just copy some existing example and start their modifications from there (which runs the risk of adopting bugs from existing examples).
• Most programmers don’t unit test. They believe they are better than that, or they are lazy.
• Most programmers read xkcd.
• Programmers that are computer scientists are better at computational problems.

What most don’t realize about computer science (as opposed to only programming.)

• You can merge sort your socks.
• You can apply scalability methods of algorithms to work labor level processes to improve business efficiency.
• You can learn other fields and industries because CS is a catalyze for industries like physics, chemistry, rendering, etc…
• You can apply CS methods to accounting, management, logistics, market trends, human resource management, workflow processing engineering, etc…
• Computer science has philosophies within it that can change your mode of thinking.

Lots and lots. It’s amazing what you can do if you pay attention to the computer science bit, rather than only how to program software.

Computer science includes:

• Hardware
• Software
• Programming
• Algorithms
• Problem solving
• Efficiency measurement methods
• Stability methods
• Integration concepts
• Computer architecture

And most importantly….

• Computer Science History

You learn to appreciate these things when you take in CS and listen in beyond only the programming trade skill.

Either you are a viable employee… Or you’re an amazing one that could hold a position of technical leadership.
