Ai acest PIN la telefonul sau la cardul tău? Schimbă-le imediat! Hoții și hackerii le ghicesc imediat • Newsweek România

Many people use simple PIN codes that are easy to guess, significantly lowering their security. Experts warn that predictable choices expose users to theft. A study of 3.4 million PINs revealed common preferences, with many opting for the same combinations. This allows potential thieves to start guessing with the most popular options. Banks advise against obvious combinations like 1234 or birthdays, emphasizing the importance of choosing unpredictable codes. The most common PINs accounted for nearly 19% of those analyzed. To enhance security, users should avoid using the same PIN across different accounts and consider using randomly assigned codes from banks.
