Have you ever heard that a deer would move to the lion’s den and enter its head into the mouth of the King of the Jungle? Indeed not. But there exist some people who would like to be an easy prey. In present days, the social media is our second life. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchats etc are amongst some social media platform. To open the door of the virtual world, all you need is an account with the help of a user ID and an ancillary password. When it comes to setting of a password, some people do some dumbest things. It is too funny to express. Recently, IMMUNIWEB, a Cyber Security Firm released a shocking research relating to password patterns of internet users. Research conducted on 21 million people, only 4.9 million passwords were found unique. That means only 23 percent of internet users are able to keep some out of the line passwords. So, the rest 77 percent of the users share their passwords with some other users. So, they can easily become prey of cyber attackers. I think even the Almighty has outsmarted the mankind in this concern because He has created unique thumb impression for every single person. 

Here is the list of 20 such common passwords which must be avoided as far as possible:
1.    000000 
    2.    111111
       3.      112233
       4.      123456
       5.      12345678
       6.      123456789

       8.      3154061
       9.      456a33
    10.  66936455

Safety Measures

When we are concern about the security of our house and install different security measures and heavy lock systems, at the same time we forget about the security of our virtual world. A password should always be unique and must be free from any guesses. Here are some of the tips for creating a strong password. 
  1. A Password should be of at least 6 or 8 characters long. 
  2. It must contain an upper case, a lower case, a special character and a number. 
  3. You must create unique passwords for every single site you log in. Creating common passwords is the dumbest mistake. 
  4. Your passwords must be under your own vigilance. 
  5. Occasionally you should also consider altering your old passwords.
Your internet safety is at your own risk. So, better do a prevention than a cure. Do not fall prey to the hackers. They are more passionate to steal your information than you are, to protect yourself.
