World Password Day is celebrated annually on the first Thursday in May to promote cybersecurity. In keeping with the national calendar, Intel Security declared World Password Day in May 2013, inspired by the idea of security researcher Mark Burnett.
A strong password is crucial to prevent attacks from cybercriminals. Phishing attacks can be avoided by not reusing the same password, setting up two-factor authentication, and performing online security checks by Google.
The unusual name of Elon Musk and his partner Claire Grimes’ son, X Æ A-12, caught the eye online in 2020. The SpaceX CEO had even explained the meaning of the name and how to pronounce the name in a viral podcast with American comedian Joe Rogan.
