The text lists the five most commonly hacked passwords, including 123456 and 123456789, used by millions of users according to the National Cyber Security Centre.
Infact verdict: Mostly True (67/100).
The analysis of commonly hacked passwords confirms that simple sequences like '123456' and '123456789' are frequently used and thus easily compromised. These claims are supported by multiple sources, including studies from NordPass and reports from the National Cyber Security Centre. Particularly, '123456' is repeatedly identified as the most common password, affirming its widespread usage and vulnerability. Other passwords like 'Qwerty', 'Password', and '1111111' also appear in multiple lists of weak passwords, corroborating the claims about their common usage. Thus, while no single authoritative fact-check was found, web evidence strongly supports these claims, resulting in moderate fact scores and confidence levels across the board. All claims are statistically grounded in recent security studies.
