Weak passwords that change brute force attacks
Today, people possess several accounts and have several passwords. Folks tend to repeatedly use a
number of easy passwords, that leaves them exposed to brute force attacks. Also, perennial use of a
similar watchword will grant attackers access to several accounts.
Email accounts protected by weak passwords could also be connected to extra accounts, and may
even be wont to restore passwords. This makes them notably valuable to hackers. Also, if users don’t
modify their default router watchword, their native network is prone to attacks. Attackers will strive a
number of easy default passwords and gain access to a complete network.
Date of birth, children's names, qwerty, 123456, abcdef123, a123456, abc123, asdf, password, hello,
