In today’s digital age, passwords are our first line of defense online, but if this wall proves to be weak, hackers can access your personal information, bank details and social media accounts. So how do passwords get leaked and how do hackers target people? Let him know…

Fishing: Hackers trick users by sending fake emails or websites and force them to enter passwords. These websites look like the real thing.

Key-Logging Software: Some malware gets installed on your device which records every keyboard press, which gives your password to the hacker.

Brute Force Attack: Hackers often try to guess the correct password by trying different passwords, especially if the password is weak.

Public Wi-Fi networks: When using an open Wi-Fi network, your information becomes sensitive and can be intercepted by hackers.

Data breach: Many times, data of big websites or companies gets leaked, due to which emails and passwords of millions of users fall into the hands of hackers.

Social Engineering: Hackers look at your social media profiles and make guesses about your life (such as date of birth, pet’s name) and password.
