Security alert, Blink-182 fans! It’s time to change your password.

The UK’s National Cyber Security Center (NCSC) has published a list of the most commonly hacked passwords – and “blink182” was No. 1 among music-related passwords.

Others on the list include “eminem,” “metallica,” and “slipknot.”

Among people’s names, it seems “ashley” is the most hacked. This got the attention of pop star Halsey, whose real name is Ashley Frangipane. She tweeted: “What’s wrong with ashley :(”

The NCSC said the world’s most popular – and vulnerable – password is “123456,” which might come as bad news to Feist.
