⭐ The Domino Effect of a Single Breach 🔐 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), they’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. 🛑The Numbers Don’t Lie🛑 -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. 🔐 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 isn’t just about convenience—it’s about closing the door on cascading breaches that can devastate your digital life. Every unique password is a dead end for hackers
