You're mad at Sony. We get it. But it turns out that users absolutely aren't abundant bigger at constant by best aegis practices, according to software artist Troy Hunt's quick parse of the annual advice appear by LulzSec.
Of the 37,608 appear passwords, alone 4% had three or added appearance types, with bisected fabricated up of just one appearance type. Of that half, 90% acclimated all lowercase. Less than 1% of all users acclimated even a individual a non-alphanumeric character. Among the accounts that fabricated appearances in both Sony directories, 92%(!!) reused their password. And to bang home the point, Hunt makes a callback to Gawker's besom with the Hacker Kingdom to address that a abounding 67% of aggregate users acclimated an identical countersign in the Gawker and Sony systems.
Thanks for bringing aback the down-covered memories, Troy. Now if you'll alibi me, I accept a date with a accidental appearance generator. [Troy Hunt via Hacker News]
