Create a strong password!



These days, hackers are everywhere. What I’m going to write is about password hackers because I have experienced being hacked.

How many times do you change your password for a month? Well, I don't think by changing your password frequently can avoid being hack by hackers surround us because they’re all active everyday.

Sometimes, people create a password that can be memorized easily. But somehow, they make it too simple. “12345678” “1234abc” “*your last name*” and others. Hackers have programs that can try hundreds of thousands of common passwords so we need to make a strong password. Using random characters can help. “JusT1n_|B1eBer” “1DrctION,_”,etc.

Or maybe by a random sentence? We can use a quote or lyrics we usually sing and stuffs. “I close my eyes, only for a moment and the moment’s gone” <- (this is a lyric from my favorite song). We can take the first character from each word “icmeofamatmg” and add another symbols and capitalized few letters “1cM3,0faMatMg”. Well, not bad isn’t it?
Actually there are many ways to create a strong password. it depends on how you want your account to be treated.

Why do hackers hack? Maybe to get our information, for fun, for status, for money and even for nothing.

Have you experienced being hacked? Tell me.
