Israeli media agency Haaretz reports that 78 email accounts at the offices of Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad were recently hacked. On Monday the Anonymous collective leaked hundreds of emails from the office of President al-Assad. A report later revealed that Assad’s aides and advisers had used ’12345′ as their secure password. The number sequence 12345 is considered one of the worst passwords of all time. So are variation of that theme: 123456, 1234567, 12345678, 123123, and 111111.
