Over 300K Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny-Related Passwords Were at Risk in 2022
PSA: Swifties and Benito fans, it’s time to change your password.
Sometimes, there are downsides to being a Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny superfan, especially if your password revolves around them. Last year, over 300K passwords were vulnerable to getting hacked.
“Passwords tied to pop culture trends also remain popular, with SpyCloud recovering over 327,000 passwords related to artists Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny,” Business Wire reported. Some of the keywords related to the musicians at risk were “Taylor,” “Swiftie,” “Benito,” “Me Porto Bonito” and “Midnights.”
However, other pop culture-related keywords were also vulnerable. The report added, “Over 261,000 related to streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu and over 167,000 related to Queen Elizabeth’s death and the British royal family.”
2022 was a big year for both Swift and Bad Bunny. They were both two of the youngest best paid entertainers of 2022, according to Forbes. She made history for being the only female artist on the list, while he made history for being the only Latino. Additionally, both artists gained lots of buzz when they were photographed together at the 2023 Grammys in February.
