Wait...1, 2, 3, 4, 5? That's amazing! I've got the same combination on my luggage! Oh President Skroob at least you are not alone on this one. If you have not grabbed the Spaceballs reference here yet you may not be able to fully enjoy this story as much as others might.

Recently Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has been in some pretty hot water with not only his own people but the greater community in large. The UN recently made comments condemning the crackdown of protestors in Syria, which reportedly has left over 2000 dead. To further add to the mess the hacktivist group Anonymous was able to break into al-Assad’s personal email account, as well as 78 different inboxes of staff members. Anon discovered many E-mails, including ones designed to prepare the Syrian leader for his December interview with Barbara Walters. In it advisers urged the leader to use language that would suggest to American viewers that other media outlets and social media was full of lies.

As if this was not bad enough, then came word on just how easy it was to gain access into the accounts. It was stated that a large portion of these accounts used the password “ 1,2,3,4,5 “ . For one the usage of “ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5” is the second weakest password anyone can have- besides “ password”. Secondly, and I'll say it again, Spaceballs. Even a 1987 Mel Brooks sci-fi comedy mocked the simple mindedness behind such a password.
