ATTACK
Password attacks enable
cybercriminals to gain unauthorised
access to user accounts and
networks. Someone in your office
can just guess or look around your
desk to steal your password. That’s
why it’s always recommended not
to write down your passwords.
Attackers may also spy on your
network, use decryption tools,
and use brute force to break your
passwords.
A range of precautions can help
save you from password attacks.
You can program your system to
lock accounts after a few wrong
passwords. Using two-step
authentication is also an excellent
way to keep your accounts safe
from prying eyes.
