There's something that makes this situation really dangerous:weak passwords.So not only are you setting weak passwords,but you're using them for multiple accounts as well.
Let's see how this would play out in a cyber attack.The cyber criminal employs an automatic system to detect vulnerabilities in your system.
Once the infection happens,it will try to crack your passwords.It will probably take less than a few seconds to find out you're using "12345678" as your passwords.The attacker will then try to see if you're using this password for other accounts.When he finds out you do,all your accounts sharing this weak security measure will be exposed,with the attacker being able to gather all the data you have stored inside in a matter of minutes.And all this could happen while you're sipping on your latte(拿鐵咖啡).
If you don't believe your data is valuable enough to make you a target,think again.Cyber criminals have a lot of objectives,from stealing your money to using you to get to your company or someone else.There's always a way they can rob you,or use your resources to launch additional attacks.You can be the main target or just the means to an end.
