A company named DataGenetics did a study and they found that too many of you are begging to get your credit and debit cards hacked. This is because you are using very obvious PIN numbers on your ATM cards.
Before you say “Hey, saying PIN number is redundant” we want you to refocus that “cleverness” into seriously rethinking those vital four digits. Take a look at the the 20 easiest to steal PINs and the percentage in which they are used:
To the almost 11 percent of you using “1234″ as a PIN code – STOP IT! STOP IT NOW!
To the .5 percent using “6969″ – funny stuff.
Identity thieves can guess the PIN of a stolen ATM card with 25 percent accuracy within 20 tries! Be more selective with your PINs.
