What are they talking about? I always use xxxx :xD

Umm... There is one glaring flaw here:

3.4 million data points visualized from several data breaches.

We are only looking at the pin codes of people whose data has been compromised.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 hours ago

They were leaked, not guessed.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 hours ago

Generally these breaches happen on the service side rather than the user side. These likely include users even with secure and insecure alike.

Mine is 8647

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

It s a blank page.

My pin is still 1077. The price of a cheese pizza and a large soda at Pannucci’s.

Is your pin automatically updated to reflect inflation?

Oh no! My ATM card! My secret PIN number: 1077.

lol at this

all 4-digit passwords leaked:

0000 0001 0002 0003 0004...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 hours ago

Every news outlet: "Major breach of your pin codes! Click this link."

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago

I really want to see which ones weren't leaked. Those are obviously the most secure.

Okay, this didn't make me twitch at all. Nope.

Crap! Someone else is using my PIN. I should change it.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Change your luggage combo too.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 hours ago

What's the combination...

1,2,3,4,5

That's amazing, I have the same combination on my luggage.

The row of 20XXs makes me laugh. Looks real bright around 2077, you cyberpunk nuts.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 14 hours ago

That's the 19xx's the 20xx row is only bright up until about 2010. So it's people born in the 70s using their birthday.

Little blip at 1701 (NCC-1701). I wonder what the other individual blips represent.

THX-1138 (George Lucas' first movie).

Am surprised it is popular 54 years on.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 13 hours ago

Lol at the dot for 1701, looks like there are loads of star trek fans

[–] [email protected] 5 points 12 hours ago

Heh, 8008 is slightly highlighted

I can’t think of an explanation for the periodic grid like clusters. Anyone?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Number pairs where the 1st and 3rd digit match or where the 2nd and 4th digit match.

Eg: 1315 or 4676
