How can I prevent my online accounts from being hacked through brute force attacks?

< 1 min read

To help prevent your online accounts from being hacked with a brute force attack, here are some suggestions you should consider:

  1. Create a strong password:
    A strong password should be a minimum of 8-characters and should not be easily guessed. Make sure your password includes a combination of upper and lowercase letters and special characters.
  2. Change passwords regularly:
    It is important to change your passwords regularly to help ward off potential hacking attacks.
  3. Enable two-factor authentication:
    Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your accounts by using something you know (for example, password) along with your phone or email to confirm your identity.
  4. Do not use the same password for multiple accounts:
    Avoid reusing the same password for multiple different accounts. If one of your accounts gets hacked, they can use the same password to gain access to all your other accounts.
  5. Avoid suspicious links:
    Be wary of suspicious links in emails or social media posts. Never click on a suspicious link as it could contain malware that could compromise your accounts.
