Black Hat..!!!

Yesterday my friend's password was cracked and the cracker deleted all the accounts. The password used by friend was very easy to guess as she used a person's name and very weak. The black hats enjoy unethical hacking and they use different techniques to crack the passwords. The Shoulder surfing, Dumpster diving are the common techniques used by the black hats. To avoid the password steal, the passwords should be chosen in such a way that they should be as long as possible, include mixed-case letters if possible, should not be based on any personal information and not be based on dictionary word. Make sure that your passwords are strong and keep your accounts safe. meet you with my next "Drop"!!..bye..
