here are 20 passwords you should stop using right now, ET CISO

With the dawn of a new year comes a fresh start for your online security. Cybersecurity experts warn against using weak passwords, as they leave you vulnerable to hackers. An annual report by NordPass highlighted the most commonly used passwords in India, revealing that several of them can be cracked in mere seconds.

NordPass revealed that it has reviewed and analysed a massive 2.5TB database compiled from various publicly accessible sources, including the dark web. The data has been categorised by country of origin for detailed analysis. It primarily consists of passwords that were either stolen through malware or exposed in data breaches.

“123456” has once again claimed the title of the ‘world’s worst password’. The password has topped the charts as the most common password 5 out of 6 times. “Password” held this title just once.

What is Firewall? A Firewall is a network security device that monitors and filters incoming and outgoing network traffic based on an organization's previously established security policies. At its most basic, a firewall is essentially the barrier that sits between a private internal network and the public Internet.

 

Secure your network at the gateway against threats such as intrusions, Viruses, Spyware, Worms, Trojans, Adware, Keyloggers, Malicious Mobile Code (MMC), and other dangerous applications for total protection in a convenient, affordable subscription-based service. Modern threats like web-based malware attacks, targeted attacks, application-layer attacks, and more have had a significantly negative effect on the threat landscape. In fact, more than 80% of all new malware and intrusion attempts are exploiting weaknesses in applications, as opposed to weaknesses in networking components and services. Stateful firewalls with simple packet filtering capabilities were efficient blocking unwanted applications as most applications met the port-protocol expectations. Administrators could promptly prevent an unsafe application from being accessed by users by blocking the associated ports and protocols.
