According to Business Advancement, the occurrence revealed that the company that maintains individual information in question has inadequate individual protection, which allows the online hackers to pick up this important data.
But most of all, it informs how sightless web customers are when it comes to private data protection.
According to the review, out of 442,837 username and passwords that were released, the top ten username and passwords were "123456," "password," "welcome," "ninja," "abc123," "123456789," "princess," "sunshine," "12345678," and "0". The phrase "'qwerty"' (the first six characters showing on the top remaining mail row of a US key pad when read remaining to right, came in at number 11.

According to the review, one must follow a simple concept for powerful username and passwords in a bid to avoid their records being compromised.
First, mix up mail and figures. Second, use at least eight figures. And third, do not use real terms or successive figures such as private data 1234 5678.
