英國白領每天輸10個密碼 設密碼有新招

Struggling to remember all your computer passwords, PINs and other security codes? You are not alone. In yet another sign of the way in which technology is taking over our lives, it seems that the average Briton has to remember up to ten passwords a day. As a result, research shows, one in three of us resorts to writing down our details to avoid forgetting them completely.

隨着電子網絡時代的到來，各式各樣花樣翻新的電子產品充斥着我們的生活，比如受追捧的平板電腦ipad2等，電子產品的更新必然帶動社交網絡的繁榮，什麼新浪微博、校內網等社交網的發達也映證了此觀點。然而，有沒有人算過這一天下來，白領們在上班以及生活的24小時之內到底要輸入多少密碼呢？據悉，英國人每一天平均要輸入10個密碼才能完成他們一天的生活。可是，要記住10個密碼談何容易，調查還顯示，爲了記住這些密碼，每3個人中還有1個人把“密碼提示”寫下來，以備自己的不時之需。

And despite the pressure to continually come up with inventive, uncrackable codewords, over half of those polled admitted they use the same password for everything, whether they're keeping an eye on their bank balance or keeping up with friends online. The most difficult details to remember were said to be those for banking websites, with log-in information for online shopping and work accounts also identified as tricky in a survey of 1,000 people by online payments firm Skrill.

儘管創建自己的密碼原則最好是“牢不可破”，而且越不輕易被別人猜對最好（有些人創建密碼爲保密試圖繁瑣化，到最後自己都記不清了），在調查中，有半數人承認他們使用“同一個密碼”進入他們的電子設備，不管是電子取款還是聯繫自己社交網上的朋友，這樣就能達到“萬無一失”的目的。在針對1000名網民在線調查中，專家發現最南極的密碼爲：網銀登陸密碼、網銀交易密碼以及工作賬戶密碼等。

Most people use easy-to-remember items of personal information such as the name of a pet, an important date or their mother's maiden name when creating a password, but security experts warn these are easy for experienced fraudsters to work out.

在創建自己的密碼問題上，大多數的人喜歡自己特別特別隱私的事務作爲密碼，比如：寵物的名字、重要的約會日期以及母親的名字等等。但是安全人士警告，這些密碼十分不靠譜，照樣能輕易被識破。

With the popularity of online shopping so strong it threatens to destroy the High Street, they argue that keeping your personal information secure has become ever more important.

此外，網購事業的騰飛也讓那些試圖保護自己的隱私的“小小的願望”變得愈發艱難了。

In April, Marks & Spencer contacted many of its customers to inform them that details of their email addresses had been stolen, leaving them open to 'phishing' attacks which see criminals attempt to trick people into revealing their bank details. To keep your information secure, experts suggest mixing up the letters of a familiar word with a particular website. For example, if you wanted to use the word 'friend' for the social networking site Facebook, then your password could be 'ffraiceenbdook'.

就在四月份，英國瑪莎百貨聯繫他們的客戶並告知他們的電郵地址可能已經被黑客襲擊導致泄露，而這些電郵地址的泄露可以牽扯他們的銀行個人信息的泄露，這樣下來後果不堪設想。爲了保證自己的個人信息安全，專家建議：“可以將自己想要輸入的單詞密碼配以需要進入的社交網站名字加以合成，倘若想進入facebook社交網站，需要用friends（密碼），可以把自己的密碼設置成 ffraiceenbdook。”
