Signs the Password Used is Too Weak
Surely you don't want to, gang, if one of your accounts is hacked because the password is too easy to break?
Well, to avoid that, it's better if you refer to Jaka's article about some of the following signs that the password used is too weak, gang
1. Using Date of Birth
Surely many of you still use your date of birth as your social media account password or even an ATM PIN.
In fact, this is not recommended you know! That's because the date of birth is very easy for others to know through your social media profiles.
Especially, if you really only use the date of birth without containing any other characters.
2. Using Your Own Name
In addition to the date of birth, using your own name as a password is also a sign that the password used is too weak, gang.
Although this kind of thing can make it easier for users to always remember it, but in fact passwords using their own names are not safe enough to use.
Not only that, some people also use their own name with an additional date of birth behind it to make it more difficult to guess. But, are you sure other people don't really know about it?
3. Use the same password for all accounts
Although it is more practical because you don't need to remember many passwords, but using one password for all accounts is also not safe enough, you know, gang.
This has been proven through the hacking case that befell the Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, in 2016.
At that time, his four social media accounts were hacked by a group of hackers who named themselves as OurMine.
The hacker said that the hacking of the four accounts was due to Zuckerberg's habit of never distinguishing the passwords for each of his social media accounts, the gang.
So, you still want to use the same password for all social media accounts?
4. Follow Keyboard Pattern
Although it sounds trivial, thinking about a new password when creating an account can actually be quite confusing for some people.
So confused, many of them finally choose to use a password following a keyboard pattern like qwerty, asdfghjkl, or zxcvbnm.
But, you know what, if it turns out that this kind of password is very weak and easy for hackers to hack, gang.
In fact, maybe this password is not only used by you but also many other people.
5. Using Phone Number
Not only names or dates of birth, phone numbers are also often used as passwords for users' social media accounts.
Unfortunately, this kind of password is also considered too weak because it is easy to guess, especially by those around you, the gang.
Even if you look at the number of characters, the phone number has quite a long character, but this does not guarantee that your account will be safe.
6. Using Number Sequence
Can you admit who uses a sequence of numbers as passwords for social media accounts?
A shocking fact was revealed after a study conducted by National Cyber Security Center (NCSC) England found that "123456" is one of the most widely used passwords by more than 23 million account, gang.
Not only that, "123456789" also occupies the second position in the order of the most popular and widely used passwords.
The results of this study are evidence that it turns out that a password with a sequence of numbers is a sign that the password you are using is still weak, gang.
7. Using Repeating Characters
Not just a sequence of numbers, using repeated characters as passwords is also not strong enough to protect your account from hacker attacks, gangs.
Even, "111111" It is also one of the most widely used passwords according to an analysis conducted by NSNC UK.
But, don't think that passwords with other repeated characters other than "111111" are safe enough, OK, gang.
You better change it quickly before your account becomes the target of the next hacker attack.
Well, those were some signs that the password you are using is too weak so it is easy to be hacked by irresponsible people, gang.
Try to remember, is the password you use the same as some of the signs above?
