You must have heard about 79 000, mostly Finnish, Internet accounts were cracked last weekend (79 000 Internet accounts cracked).
Now, on the other Finnish site, Uranium mine, there is to project going on, where the cracked data is used to find out, which passwords are the most common. Cyberantweb.com presents the results, when 28,68% (18080) passwords are cracked. And remember, that it was a Finnish site, so I’ll have to translate few of them to English, and these translations are written with CAPITALS. And here are the winners.
1) salasana (214), with 214 cases the winner is Finnish word for PASSWORD. What a great surprise.
2) 123456 (176)
3) perkele (118), Strong word from Finland, which must be well known to our Scandinavian neighbours. Not to be translated.
4) 12345 (85), this must be so unsafe without the last 6
5) qwerty (74),
6) kakka (63), POO. That took long 
7) 514007 (63), You tell me?
moikka (50), HELLO.
9) paska (48), SHIT. The lovely big brother of the poo.
10) koira (46), DOG. Man’s best friend.
Other few, which deserve to be mentioned are:
11) tietokone = COMPUTER
13) kikkeli = DICK
20) password, Some Finns know English, but in totally wrong place

Too funny. I love the fact that “shit” and “poo” are two popular ones. Some kind of strange Finnish theme here.

It could be something, that comes first to your mind, but what kind of person thinks first about poo?
