Pin Point: The Most Common 4-digit PIN numbers by Information is Beautiful was a redesign of Nick Berry’s original work. Having a pin that’s easy for you to remember, could also be an easy one to guess. Check out this infographic and see how safe your favorite PIN may be.

Chip and PIN card, phone passcode, hotel safe – how predictable is your chosen PIN number?

3.4 million data points visualized from several data breaches.

Created by the late great Nick Berry of Data Genetics (redesigned and used with permission). He wrote a great data story around this which is also worth a read.

I really like this heatmap. Visually, it reveals a number of insights from the data:

• The diagonal line shows the PINs where two digits are repeated to create a 4-digit PIN. 1111, 3434, 5050, etc.

• The lower left corner is brighter with PINs starting with low numbers, generally representing dates. The section goes to the right up to the number 31, representing the day. Birthdays, anniversaries, etc.

• There is a bright horizontal line of PINs starting with “19” the wraps into a line starting with “20”, representing a year that someone has chosen for some significance. Birth year, wedding, graduation, etc.

• The black squares are the least used PIN numbers, also listed at the bottom of the infographic.

Last month, the world narrowly avoided a cyberattack of stunning ambition. The targets were some of the most important computers on the planet. Computers that power the internet. Computers used by banks and airlines and even the military.

What these computers had in common was that they all relied on open source software.

A strange fact about modern life is that most of the computers responsible for it are running open source software. That is, software mostly written by unpaid, sometimes even anonymous volunteers. Some crucial open source programs are managed by just a single overworked programmer. And as the world learned last month, these programs can become attractive targets for hackers.

In this case, the hackers had infiltrated a popular open source program called XZ. Slowly, over the course of two years, they transformed XZ into a secret backdoor. And if they hadn't been caught, they could have taken control of large swaths of the internet.

On today's show, we get the story behind the XZ hack and what made it possible. How the hackers took advantage of the strange way we make modern software. And what that tells us about the economics of one of the most important industries in the world.
