US President Trump, the United Nations, and Google have all earned themselves a position as some of the worst password offenders over 2018.
Weak passcodes, the use of terrible passwords — such as “123456” or “QWERTY” –and a failure to change your account credentials on a regular basis have all, for years, been cautioned against for the sake of security.
Brute-force attacks, in which hackers operate simple software able to automatically crack weak credentials, social engineering, and phishing emails are common ways to attempt to break into an account. The simpler the password, the easier it is to break.
