Why you should never reuse passwords
Sadly, it is fairly prevalent, despite the fact that password reuse is extremely
insecure. It's risky to use the same password across numerous websites and
accounts, including financial records and social media advertisements. The majority
of us, however, have so many accounts to remember that it can be challenging to
resist the impulse to repeatedly use the same password in order to avoid having to
remember dozens of passwords for several different uses.
If accounts are compromised, cybercriminals can cause a lot of harm, including
identity theft and the loss of cash and confidential information from your place of
employment. It simply makes it easier for them to obtain sensitive information thanks
to password recycling.
Why you should avoid reusing passwords
1) Risk on multiple accounts
We frequently have multiple accounts open in today's digital environment, some of
which we are quite worried about keeping secure (like our bank accounts), and
others about which we may not care as much (like Facebook).
This is dangerous because hackers might exploit your personal information to pass
as someone else online or to trick you into giving them your login information. If your
Facebook account is compromised and you have used the same password and
email address for both, your bank account is suddenly no longer protected.
Sharing a password across many accounts has a higher risk if the password you use
is weak, as it increases the likelihood that cybercriminals will attempt to access your
other accounts. Reused passwords are one of the main reasons accounts are
compromised since they are simple to guess.
2) Threatens official accounts
Because password reuse is so widespread, hackers have been able to target
business accounts as well as personal ones more quickly and easily.
Numerous high-profile data breaches have resulted in the passwords of thousands,
perhaps even millions, of individuals being made public. Hackers could easily
compromise an employee's account and obtain illegal access to their workplace
network if a recycled password used by the employee of a prominent IT company
turns up in one of these data dumps.

3) Vulnerable to phishing attacks
Cybercriminals frequently use phishing attempts to gain access to your data.
Attackers may send you a communication while pretending to be a reputable service
provider in order to get credentials such as your credit card information, date of birth,
username, passwords, and nicknames by a variety of techniques, many of which can
be challenging to recognize.
They might get in touch with you via email or instant message and ask you to enter
your credentials on a bogus website that is remarkably similar to the real website.
Using your faith in the person or company they are impersonating to gain access to
your personal information, they can ask you to update your information or notify you
that your account was accessed by a questionable login.
Conclusion
There are ways you can protect yourself from all sorts of threats. Install K7 antivirus
software and be safe from all cybercrimes. If you want to know more about us, then
contact us now and experience safety.

Why you should never reuse passwords
