The cyber security in today's world is of paramount importance because our personal data and information are increasing in the virtual world and its bound to increase in the future. To protect these information, most site uses password which are chosen by the user and here in lies the problem. Users choose some very bad password and such bad choices of password has led to several cyber security breaches.

As always people never learn and make the same mistake again. New research from password management
software developer SplashData has shown that the password we use are way too trivial and is a piece of cake for hackers. If you are using these password, please change it immediately and by immediately I mean right now ... this very second. Here are the most used password of 2015
