February 1st was National Change Your Password Day. Did you participate?
If you are using the password 1234, 12345678 or simply the word password, then you might want to make a change-and I would recommend doing it pretty quickly. These were the top 3 passwords used in 2013 as reported by SplashData, a password management company.
What are some things you can do to insure yourself from unwanted hackers looking to access your cyber accounts?

Use that creative mind and generate some new passwords for 2014! It is a great, free insurance policy for the New Year.
