Fraudsters Like Reused Passwords!

Do you know why?

Because when you reuse passwords, one data breach can compromise all your accounts!

Here's how they exploit this:

πŸ” They use credential stuffing attacks with stolen username/password combinations.

πŸ“Š They cross-reference breached data across multiple services.

🎯 They target high-value accounts first (email, banking, social media).

πŸ”„ They use automated tools to test stolen credentials on multiple sites in seconds.

πŸ’° They prioritize accounts with financial information or payment methods.

πŸ“± They exploit the fact that many people use the same password everywhere.

πŸ”— They use one compromised account to access others with the same credentials.

πŸ“ˆ They build comprehensive profiles from multiple breached accounts.

Good password hygiene means:

⏩ Consider using a password manager to generate and store strong passwords.

⏩ Use unique passwords for each account.

⏩ Password is not enought - enable two-factor authentication wherever possible.

⏩ Regularly check[ref] if your email has been involved in data breaches.

⏩ Change passwords immediately if you suspect compromise.

🚨 Stay unique and stay secure!
