"PASSPHRASE" IS COMING INSTEAD OF "PASSWORD"

Now a days there is a rapid growth of internet users in the world. All are crazy about something in the internet. I think the social networking sites are forced to use the internet..
So every users should aware of hackers.. Give an special importance to the "PASSWORD" we maintained in all our account.
In the growth of users , a temptation is created in minds of some users to know the others information ,this lead to hacking.
Now a days hacking activities are changed to interest and hobbies.
One recent hacked incident is coming to my mind while remaind this.. An american bloging network (Gawker) is hacked by some cyber criminals. They hacked 13,00,0000 lakh users and publish their usernames and passwords through online.

They publish a detailed notice of passwords used by the users.. they are:-
>>Most of all are using their names with numbers(ie; 1 to 9) as password
>> The commonly using passwords are 'MONKEY' 'CONSUMER' 'QWERTY'
>>The password of some others are 'PASSWORD'

This incident also force the change of "PASSWORD" to "PASSPHRASE"
*PASSWORD only contain 8 to 10 characters but PASSPHRASE contains 15 to 25 characters.

All websites are going to change password to passphrase in upcoming periods.. Its a happy news for us it reduces hacking possibilities and loggedout the hackers ..
