Although there is no particular guaranteed method of breaking into a Victim’s account, there are definitely a few different techniques that are commonly used by attackers, namely:
1.Password Guessing
2.Forgot Password Attacks
3.Brute Force Password Cracking
4.Phishing Attacks
5.Input Validation Attacks
6.Social Engineering
The success & speed of this technique largely depends upon the strength of the victim’s password.
Some basic tips that each & every Internet user must keep in mind while choosing a Password are:
1) Try to use a combination of alphabets, numbers & special characters.
2) Try to use both lowercase & uppercase.
3) Try to choose a password that is not a word in the dictionary.
4) Keep changing your password.
5) The password should not be too short.
6) Do not use a password that can easily be guessed.
7) Do not write down your password & store it near your computer.
8) Do not use the same password for all your accounts.
9) Do not use your personal information as Password.
"Then be secure & Safe Surfing" :)
