Various news outlets (like PC Mag and The Telegraph) are reporting on SplashData’s survey of the most stolen passwords.

Needless to say if you are using one of these passwords (or a similar one) for any of your accounts you should change them. A good password isn’t a dictionary word and includes a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters (!,&,*,£,# etc).
