The most insecure gamer passwords you can use | TierraGamer: news and entertainment about anime, series, video games and technology

According to a study by Mailsuite Over 2,612 pop culture terms and 63,849 variations of them in capitalization, punctuation, and spacing are known to be easy targets for hackers to easily figure out your passwords.

For example, one in four people reuses the same password on more than eleven sites and apps, meaning that if a hacker manages to access one account they can quickly access the rest in a domino effect.

Additionally, more than a third of people include personal information in their passwords, so all a hacker needs to crack the code is to search social media for clues.

The good thing is that more websites force us to create passwords with strong attributes, such as upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters, but are you wondering what the most dangerous gamer passwords are?

The most dangerous gamer passwords that you should not use for anything

Some of the biggest data breaches in recent history affect video games. The 2011 attack on PlayStation Network, for example, compromised 77 million user accounts.

In the world of video games, Minecraft is the most dangerous password, appearing in 215,934 data breaches. Bitwarden estimates that it would take less than a second to crack this password.

Also on the list is Left 4 Dead with 29,573 appearances in data leaks, which if written with the same capital letters, punctuation and numbers as the actual title of the franchise, it takes hackers a little longer to decrypt it (one day).
