Never compromise wit...ย โ€ขย 4m

โญ The Domino Effect of a Single Breach ๐Ÿ” Imagine you use the same password for a social media account, email, and online banking. If hackers breach the social media platform (which happens daily), theyโ€™ll extract your credentials and test them on other sites. This automated process, called credential stuffing, often takes seconds. Suddenly, your email is compromised. From there, attackers can: -Reset passwords for your bank or other critical accounts. -Access sensitive emails containing tax documents or medical records. -Exploit saved payment details for fraudulent purchases. // For example, in 2022, a breach at ROCKSTAR GAMES exposed millions of passwords. Hackers used these credentials to drain bank accounts of users who reused passwords for PayPal or banking apps. ๐Ÿ›‘The Numbers Donโ€™t Lie๐Ÿ›‘ -53% of people admit to reusing passwords. -Credential stuffing accounts for 34% of all login attempts on retail sites. -Stolen passwords sell for as little as $2 on the dark web, making reuse a goldmine for hackers. ๐Ÿ” How to Protect Yourself: + Use a password manager to generate and store unique, complex passwords. + Enable two-factor authentication for critical accounts. + Regularly check if your passwords are exposed via tools like Have I Been Pwned. Breaking the password reuse habit isnโ€™t just about convenienceโ€”itโ€™s about closing the door on cascading breaches that can devastate your digital life. Every unique password is a dead end for hackers
