Hacking attack easier due to weak and simple password

Generally, most of us create different accounts to use different websites, which use a simple password or a single password to keep them safe. Because doing this makes it easier to remember passwords. But this negligence of the people may fall on them and this may cause all their personal data to be leaked. A report by research company Secure Link has said that about 80% of hacking attacks are caused by weak or simple passwords. The report further states that most of the hacking attacks took place in 2017 due to weak passwords.

Stealing passwords using a phishing attack According to SecureLink's report, hackers use a phishing attack to steal users' data. Through this, they get information such as the user's name and password and steal the account and steal all their data. The risk of hacking increases even more when users use the same password instead of different passwords on different platforms.

Use a password on different websites The report further states that users use the same password on different websites only because of fear of forgetting the password. This makes the work of hackers easy and they steal the data on all platforms by finding the password of one account.
