If your passwords are less than 8 characters long, change them immediately, a new study says
"Short and simple passwords can be cracked in a matter of seconds. Long and complicated ones? Trillions of years.
[..]
The findings suggest that even an eight-character password - with a healthy
mix of numbers, uppercase letters, lowercase letters and symbols - can be cracked within eight hours by the average hacker. Anything shorter or less complex could be cracked instantly, or within a few minutes, by any hacker who knows what they're doing, even if they're only using fairly basic equipment."
