Now that Christmas is over you might find yourself with unwanted gifts or spend Boxing Day looking for bargains in the sales. You can sell or swap those gadgets or clothes you really don't need. You will have to register on many different web-based products or services and the temptation to do this as quickly as possible can be really strong.
This could mean that you use the first password which springs to mind. This time of year creates a hackers' paradise so take your time and choose "strong" passwords. Make sure that each password has at least eight characters and use a variety of letters in upper and lower cases and use symbols i.e. %, $, etc. Don't use the same password on multiple sites. Grab a notebook and write them all down as they are easily forgotten.
Splash Data have compiled a list of the most frequently used passwords which are so common that hackers can easily break into accounts. Here is the list of the "worst" passwords you can use:
1. password
2. 123456
3. 12345678
