Bosses need to work on IT skills

SECURITY experts have found chief executives are still using easy-to-crack passwords.

Analysis of millions of data breaches showed that bosses most commonly used ‘123456’, ‘password’ and ‘qwerty’.

Password management firm NordPass analysed 290million data breaches across the world.

Jonas Karklys, NordPass chief executive, said: ‘It is unbelievable how similarly we all think.

‘Everyone from gamer teenagers to company owners are targets of cybercrimes, and the only difference is that business entities, as a rule, pay a higher price for their unawareness.’

Cybersecurity firm Hive Systems recommend using an 18-character password made up of numbers, upper and lower-case letters and symbols, which would take 438 trillion years to crack.
