- Comment This type of attack doesn’t normally require any type of malicious code or software to gain access to your personal information. If a cyber hacker is using a program to access your account passwords, they are likely running the software on their computer system, rather than yours. Most hackers will attempt to steal your password information through brute force attacks. These are trial-and-error methods that will automatically generate a large number of consecutive guesses before they find the desired data they need. These types of cyber attacks can be used to crack encrypted data as well. How can I prevent it? Strong passwords are really the only way to safeguard against password attacks. This means using a combination of upper and lower case letters, symbols and numbers and having at least eight characters or more.
