It is not just the
technology world that writes continuously about the need for a safe password
for your online accounts and hard to guess combination for your mobile phone.
However, despite press
and experts barraging the public from all angles with warnings of what could
happen if you make it too easy for criminals to work out your protections, many
people just won't listen.
This was proved again
today when a report from Data Genetics showed one in nine people use the PIN '1234'
for their bank cards. This is despite the fact there are over 10,000
combinations someone with a bank card could use.
If this statistic is
true, that means around five million people in the UK are using the pathetic
combination to protect their cash. FIVE MILLION!
Sometimes you just
deserve to have your money stolen.
