There are two ways for hackers to penetrate systems. They either find security gaps in the program code or they use automated programs that decrypt passwords, emails, and other login data.

Most Internet users assume that a hacker is not interested in their own data or that they will not be the target of an attack. However, many underestimate the fact that it often has nothing to do with interest in the data. 

If there is a chance for a hacker to get to e-mail accounts or online shopping accounts with an easy password, then he will do it.

Using A Strong Password Is The Be-All And End-All: 

To minimize the risk of being hacked yourself, there are a few tips and tricks that you should keep in mind.

• A password does not necessarily have to consist of one word. Passwords can be of any length or whole sentences. Passwords should be at least 10 characters long.
• It may have failed. A password doesn’t have to make sense. Use upper and lower case letters, special characters, and numbers. Dates of birth, names, or phone numbers related to you and your family are too uncertain.

• Mnemonic and password managers. You can use very simple sentences to think up and remember a secure password. For example: “I have 20 pairs of great shoes on the shelf!” can be converted to: “Ih20PtSiRs!” If that is too difficult for you, you should get a password manager. These managers create and remember the passwords for you. A master password gives you access to your logins.
• If you want to be happy, you have to change often. Change your passwords regularly, especially for sensitive accounts like online banking or password door locks. If an online service provider discloses large data leaks or your device is infected with malware, you should change your password immediately.
