Darlene Storm: Quirky trends in PINs include 420 and 69: Password hat tips to 007, Pi, 8675309


If crooks wanted to crack credit card PINs, they might start with 1234. 1 is

four-digit PIN that begins with 19 is another good guess for hackers. But there
were numerous quirky and fun tidbits found in Data Genetics PIN and password
analysis. People like the numbers 420 and 69. Math fans like digits that reflect
Pi. Longer password peculiarities revealed several hat tips from Jenny's
8675309 to 007 James Bond.
