Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com, Oct. 18, the network security company collected more than 1.8 million system administrator credentials from January to September this year and found that more than 40,000 administrator passwords are "admin", indicating that many IT administrators have not changed the default password.

Outpost24 said that the 1.8 million administrator account credentials collected this time came from various malware that stole information. After analyzing the collection of authentication credentials of the management portal, Outpost24 summed up the top 20 weakest authentication credentials. CTOnews.com attached the following list:

01. Admin

02. 123456

03. 12345678

04. 1234

05. Password

06. one hundred and twenty three

07. 12345

08. Admin123

09. 123456789

10. Adminisp

11. Demo

12. Root

13. 123123

14. Admin@123

15. 123456aA@

16. 01031974

17. Admin@123

18. 111111

19. Admin1234

20. Admin1

The researchers warn that the above entries are "limited to known and predictable passwords", but these are administrator account passwords, and if the attacker successfully invades, more user information will be affected.

To protect against information theft malware, Outpost24 recommends using endpoints and detection response solutions, disabling password saving and auto-filling options in web browsers, checking domains in the event of redirects, and staying away from cracked software.
