The most common account password especially for email is "123456". How did I know? Two years ago, it ranks as top # 1 on whatsmypass.com's list of "Top 500 Worst Passwords of all Time" but people never learned as they still favor on using simple and easily-guessed passwords. And how do free email service providers respond on this? Let's take yahoo and gmail as examples.
I register a new yahoo account using "123456" as the password. It then displays as a "weak" password but still able to register the account (?). Definitely, Yahoo fails on this part.
How about the password "password"?
Good thing it is not accepted.
Another test account using "123456" as the password displays the strength as a "weak" one. Gmail does not accept weak or too short passwords as registration will fail. Same applies to the password "password".
Using simple passwords is not a new phenomenon. Thus experts’ advice not to use most common or easily-guessed passwords nor re-use it on other online accounts as it is vulnerable to hacking. Choose complex passwords. You may also check StaySafeOnline.org's article on Choosing Safe Passwords.
After an alleged rumor circulated via text messages early this month that AFP will carry out poll automation cheating dubbed as "Project Fullmoon" in favor to Senator Manny Villar with the assistance of a certain Korean hacker Martin Leebiong, the mockery towards the senator does not ends there.
Recently, the blog section of Senator Manny Villar's website (www.mannyvillar.com.ph) just got hacked. A blog post entry dated Mar 19, 2010 fictitiously coming from Kris Aquino, bash his campaign tactics and urge readers to vote her brother Noynoy Aquino instead.
Here is the complete message of the hacker before the post was taken down:
"Omigosh kalerky to the max. Imagine, may I gamit pa mga kids sa commercial to make sipsip to the poor. Pano naman kaming mga riichhh! Wala ba candidate na magpapakatotoo “For the rich, because I am rich!” Dapat ganun devah! Love it! So many eklat and whatnot. Why pa magpakahirap sa business kung mas mataas kita sa government di ba? Like I said to Boy regarding sa interview nila, “Taas ng TF, Amiiinin!”. Hay naku, vote for my brother Noynoy na lang, manang mana sa kanya si josh, ang cute di baah! Basta, for my hair magthank you na lang ako sa mga baklush sa pinoyhacking.com. Sila rin nagtina ng buhok ni MannyVillar ever! Greet ko na rin mga tga pinoygreyhat.org, makers ng gown ko, hay naku ang aarte nyo, pwede na kayo maging National Artist! Thanks din sa mga members ng ph****, ang official Kris Aquino fan club! Hug! Kisses!! muah muah muah! At sa mga samu’t saring pinoy hacker group, mga kumare asan na kayo!? Text text nyo naman me at makapag lamierda tayo! Love it!"

The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) was the 5th victim of the continuous government website vandalism after its home page defaced by a hacker, leaving a message of sympathy to a certain "Kimay" addressed to abusive police officers and a picture of a man showing a nasty dirty finger.
This defacement follows the attack on other agencies like Department of Health (DOH), Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC), and Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE).
