Creating a strong password continues to be an issue for consumers, a Kaspersky Lab study shows.

These intrusions led to the loss and theft of personal data. The research is a reminder to people using the web to conduct transactions not to slack when it comes to passwords, which still hold strong weight in keeping would-be malicious actors out of Internet accounts.
