Study shows hackers more focused on passwords than those who create them

Nearly half of Internet users do not use a complex password and more than 25% of adults online have been notified to change their password for a compromised email account, according to a new cybercrime report released Wednesday.

The 2012 Norton Cybercrime Report concluded that strong passwords were one key element for protecting end-users online. In addition, newer forms of cybercrime are being targeted at social networks and mobile devices.
