Do You Reuse Your Password?

8 years ago

I read where in 2017, some 2.3 billion account credentials were stolen because of 51 independent “credential spill incidents”.


Credential stuffing are large scale cyberattacks where criminals use stolen credentials over a mass amount of logins. These attacks are often successful because of users reusing passwords, said the release, which is no surprise, as 25% of employees use the same passwords for every account. Attackers then use the information to commit various fraudulent actions, from unauthorized bank transfers to online purchases.
