Imperva, a data security firm, said it had analysed around 32 million passwords that had been exposed in a recent hack¹ of the RockYou website.

Imperva这家数据安全公司说他们分析了在最近被攻击的RockYou网站泄露的大约3200万个密码。

In December last year a hacker² breached⁴ the site's company database and gained access to the unencrypted usernames and passwords of all its 32 million users.

去年12月，一个黑客攻击了运营这家网站的公司的数据，得到了全部3200万名用户的用户名和密码。

After studying the security breach³ Imperva has come up with a list of the most commonly used passwords which website users should avoid.

在研究了安全漏洞之后，Imperva列出了一个最常用的密码列表，这些都是网络用户最应该避免使用的。

“Everyone needs to understand what the combination of poor passwords means in today’s world of automated⁵ cyber attacks: with only minimal⁶ effort, a hacker can gain access to one new account every second—or 1000 accounts every 17 minutes,” said Amichai Shulman, Imperva’s chief technical officer.

Imperva 的CTO Amichai Shulman说，“大家需要知道，在这个充满自动网络攻击的当代世界中，一个糟糕的密码组意味着什么：一个黑客只要小花点功夫每秒就能获取一个新的账户和密码，大约17分钟就能获取1000个账户。”

“Employees using the same passwords on Facebook that they use in the workplace bring the possibility of compromising enterprise systems with insecure passwords, especially if they are using easy to crack passwords like ‘123456’,” he added.

他还说，“一个公司职员如果在Facebook上和公司里都用同样的密码的话，就有用不安全的密码给公司造成危害的可能。尤其如果他们用的是最容易被黑的密码，像123456。”

“The problem has changed very little over the past 20 years. It’s time for everyone to take password security seriously; it’s an important first step in data security.”

“这个问题在过去20年都没什么变化，现在是人们应该认真对待密码的时候了，这是数据安全的第一步。”

The ten most commonly used passwords analysed in the study were:
