Twitter prohibe 370 passwords frágiles

Twitter prohíbe 370 contraseñas, por ser demasiado fáciles de decifrar. Cuando el internauta pretende crear una nueva cuenta debe introducir una contraseña que elige libremente. Sin embargo, si se le ocurre emplear como contraseña los nombres "ferrari" o "einstein" o la serie numérica "123456" no podrá porque Twitter las considera demasiado banales y fáciles de detectar por terceros. La lista ha sido conocida al acudir los internautas al código fuente de la página de registro.

El repertorio es largo, entre las contraseñas figuran desde nombres de equipos de fútbol británicos (Chelsea) a palabras relacionadas con la guerra de las galaxias o la contraseña que empleaba Mulder en Expediente X (trustno1). Este descubrimiento coincide con el pleito que un particular presento contra la compañía Rock You especializada en la oferta de aplicaciones en redes sociales cuyo frágil sistema de seguridad no pudo evitar el robo de 32 millones de contraseñas.

Como han advertido infinidad de estudios, los internautas toman pocas precauciones a la hora de pensar la contraseña. De entrada repiten la misma en todos los sitios donde se exige el empleo de una. Muchos introducen nombres o fechas fácilmente adivinables por parte de quien lo conozca o con el simple escrutinio de los datos personales que publica en sus perfiles. Siempre se recomienda el empleo de número, letras y signos mezclados, pero el problema de las contraseñas más seguras es que son difíciles de recordar.
