‘Password’ is the worst password to use on the internet, a new study by SplashData revealed.
The second-most popular choice is ’123456′, followed by ’12345678′, ‘qwerty’ and ‘abc123′, the Telegraph reported.
The findings were released as Facebook revealed that 600 000 hacking attempts were made each day.
