MADISON, WI (WTAQ-METRO) – A nationwide study from Casino-dot-org ranks Wisconsin dead-last when it comes to password security.
The study looked at cybersecurity factors like character length, number of reused passwords, and how often a person updates old passwords. Wisconsin was worst in nearly every category and scored a zero out of one-hundred.
Less than a quarter of Wisconsinites were found to have passwords longer than 12 characters, and over 80-percent admitted to reusing the same password across multiple accounts.
Rhode Island was the only state to get a perfect score. Certain states were left out due to a lack of data.
