Business Insider Mexico revealed what the passwords were used in Mexico in 2021, and three teams from the League MX are among the favorites of Mexicans: America, Chivas and Cruz Azul. But this is not good news, because these keys are among the easiest for hackers to crack.

The word “america“, in clear reference to Club América, was the ninth most used code by Mexicans in 2021. It only takes two minutes for hackers to crack it. Being in the top 15 of passwords, surely many users were violated due to the ease of the key in question.

Same case for the following two cases: “chivas” is in the position 15 of most used passwords, and it will be enough for a second of lucidity for the hacker so he can guess it. It is the simplest of all, along with other obvious passwords such as “123456”, “mexico”, “password” and “123abc”.

Finally there is “cruzazul“, like this, with the words together without leaving space, in the position 44. This password can take approximately three hours away from hackers. Still it is vulnerable.

This way it is clear that if you plan to use the name of your favorite team as a password, especially if it is America , Chivas or Cruz Azul, you may have to change plans or combine with other words, because the security of your data could be at risk.
