We always talk with clients about security and one of the most basic issues is the setting of a proper password. We can build encrypted tunnels all day long, but weak passwords will break through it all, leading to information and identity theft often on a grand scale.

SplashData has released their list of the worst passwords from 2011. If you see any of your passwords on this list, it might be time for a change. Remember, your information can only be as secure as you make it.
