Some people use different passwords for their social media accounts, while others simply use the same password for every account. This provides the convenience of not having to remember multiple passwords, but this convenience can also create problems.
Cyber Dost (under the Ministry of Home Affairs) shared a post on the microblogging platform X, explaining that using the same password for multiple accounts can be problematic because a data breach could put all your accounts at risk.
In simple terms, Cyber Dost's post means that due to a data leak, hackers can target your other accounts, which can increase your difficulties. A data leak can also give hackers access to your personal details.
Has your data also been leaked? Check it this way.
Go to haveibeenpwned.com and enter your email address to check. This site will inform you whether your email address has been used in a data breach.
If a data breach is detected in the search results, immediately change the passwords for all your accounts. Create a new password that is difficult for anyone to crack. This means that in addition to capital and small letters, mix symbols and numbers in the password to create a strong password.
To protect your account from hackers, use a unique and strong password for each account.
Note: Never use common passwords like password, 12345678, or weak passwords, as doing so can increase your risk.
