How to Protect Against AI Password Cracking
How password cracking works.
With the rise of AI come new threats like password cracking. Cybercriminals now have the power to create highly sophisticated algorithms capable of analyzing vast datasets of passwords. These intelligent algorithms can identify patterns and weaknesses, making it alarmingly easier for hackers to crack even strong and complex passwords. Read more to learn what’s trending in cybersecurity threats and what to look out for.
Authenticate to prevent AI threats.
To defend against threats like password cracking, make 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) your best friend. 2FA adds an extra layer of security by requiring not just your password, but also a second form of verification, making it much harder to crack your accounts.
Ex: When you log in, 2FA requires your password and a second form of verification. This could be a code sent to your phone via SMS, or a code from a trusted app.
Trusted authenticator app tools like Google Authenticator or Authy can be your strongest allies, as they provide the most secure 2FA method available.
By incorporating an authenticator tool into your security routine, you can significantly reduce the risk of falling victim to attacks.
