From a human behavior analysis standpoint, this image is absolutely fascinating. There is so much information about human behavior that can be extracted from the data represented here

EDIT: OMFG 1701 IS THE DESIGNATION OF THE STAR SHIP ENTERPRISE (NCC-1701). TREKKIES WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS?!?

A heat graph showing the most and least commonly used 4-digit pin number based on 3.4 million records from data breaches. The first two digits are on the vertical axis, from 00 to 99. The second two digits are on the horizontal axis from 00 to 99. Frequency of use is a color scale from white to yellow to orange to black. Several interesting segments are annotated, such as the high frequency of use for repeating digits like 1212 or 5353 as a yellow diagonal line bisecting the graph, or birth years (pins starting with 19) as a horizontal yellow line centered around the location 1975. There is a scattering of black and nearly black locations for the most rare pins with little apparent reasoning. The value 1701 is also highlighted as a very common pin code with no obvious reason
