All credit card PIN numbers in the World.

Astounding that some people use 1234, 0000 etc!

Bit of a misleading thread title.

I took the thread title from the article itself.

Let's hope that this serves as a warning to those with insecure passwords.

Most banks won't let you set your pin to all the same digit or consecutive ones

Yes, you're right. After creating this thread, out of curiosity, I tried to change my PIN to one of the insecure ones highlighted in the link (I would obviously have changed it again straight away).

It refused to let me change it to 1234, 0000 etc.
