"You’d Better Change Your Birthday – Hackers may Know Your PIN"

In a study it was discovered that 26 percent of individuals use the top 20 most used PIN numbers, which makes guessing of PIN numbers quite easy.  Most individuals also use important dates when it comes to creating PIN numbers.  It is important that the person that creates a PIN makes sure that the number that is used is not able to be found publicly, for example a birthday or wedding date.  It is important that PIN numbers be at least 6 numbers in length, but the more numbers a PIN is made up of, the harder it will be to guess for the hackers.
