Hi friends! Today, your #CyberKit is ready to reveal to you the secrets of secure passwords to keep your data safe from hackers. Did you know that the most popular password of 2023 is “123456”?
Using such weak and similar passwords makes it easier for fraudsters, because accounts with such passwords can be easily hacked
My colleagues from the Cyber ​​Police say that criminals often use brute force – a method of hacking accounts, when a special program systematically goes through all possible combinations of logins and passwords to find the right one. Therefore, to protect accounts, it is important to set unique complex passwords and avoid using well-known combinations.
Also, if attackers gain access to one password, they can gain access to all accounts where it is used.
So, friends, in no case do not use the same passwords for all accounts. Follow these simple rules when creating passwords:
do not use any typical combinations and personal information;
do not use consecutive or reversed writing of symbols or numbers;
avoid combinations that are easy to guess.
To protect accounts, it is also necessary to set up two-factor authentication, but more on that later.
