💨 Abstract

The article discusses the analysis of 19 billion passwords exposed by data breaches, revealing that most are predictable and easily cracked. Simple passwords, default passwords, names, and pop culture references are among the most common, making users highly vulnerable to dictionary attacks. Swear words and food, football team names, and locations should also be avoided. Reusing passwords across multiple platforms increases the risk of account compromises.
