If you’re one of the many who protects your identity with the password “doctor”, “ferrari”, “peanuts”, “startrek” or the particularly ambiguous “password123″, no longer will you be able to sign up to a new Twitter account with your usual catchphrase.
In the face of new hacks and bots roaming the net to steal passwords to gain access to social network identities, Twitter has taken the step to ban 370 of the most common passwords used, in an attempt to make the micro-blogging site safer. A full list is below.
What we’ve noticed from the list is that there is a definite sci-fi / sporting theme to how people choose their secret password identity. “chelsea” and “arsenal” are on the list as well as “THX1138″ (George Lucas’s first film) “NCC1701″ (the registry number of the Star Trek Starship Enterprise, and Fox Mulder’s X-Files password “trustno1″.

Quem dera se todos os sites tivessem essa blacklist de senhas!
