Short YouTube video transcript in which Caitlin Sarian lists three common ways attackers obtain passwords: dictionary attacks (trying common password words), brute-force attacks (trying all possible combinations), and phishing (fake password-reset emails directing users to spoofed sites). The clip is instructional and invites viewers to check comments for additional methods.
Top three tricks used to hack your passwords that hackers don't want you to know about. Let's go. The first is the dictionary hack. Now, what does that mean? Basically, they try every word in the dictionary against your password. Now, this dictionary is made up the most commonly used passwords, like 1234, I love you, password. The next is brute force. Now, brute force is basically guessing. They're basically trying every possible combination. And last but not least, is phishing, which technically isn't a hack, but it's so common and so many people fall for it. It's the fake emails you get from those companies that say, reset your password and navigate you to a fake site. Look in the comments for the other ways that hackers steal your passwords.
