Ways To Prevent Hackers From Accessing Your Online Accounts by calebo10(m): 10:12am On Sep 27, 2013
Getting hacked is an unfortunate part of being on the Internet today. The hard truth is that if you want to stay 100 percent digitally secure, then stay off the Internet. But it’s not all that bad, by using some simple, yet effective security measures, you can make any hackers dream of getting into your accounts, an absolute nightmare.

Bellow are ways to prevent hackers from accessing your online accounts:

1: Always Use Strong Passwords

The sheer amount of people that still use extremely basic passwords is astonishing. For example, I recently had a client whose password for PayPal was something along the lines of “123456” even the most inexperienced of hackers could break that password in a matter of minutes.

The least you can do is to create a strong and easy to remember password, which is a lot simpler than you think. For example changing an “S” for an “$”, or using a zero instead of an “o” will immediately make your passwords a lot more difficult to crack. By applying this method, we can easily change my client’s password to something still easy to remember, yet much more difficult to crack.

If you’re stuck for password ideas, then you could always use a pronounceable password generator to help you create a strong password that is easy to remember.

2. Make Your Passwords Unique

What’s the point in having an incredibly difficult password if you’re using the same password across all online accounts? Say for example, that you were unlucky enough to be one of the 250,000 Twitter accounts that got hacked recently.

If this hacker got hold of your password and it was the same for everything else, they could get into all of your online accounts very easily, and once they’re in, it’s very difficult for you to gain control again.
