Cybercriminals use keyloggers for stealing a variety of sensitive data, from passwords to credit card numbers. In a password attack, the keylogger records not only the user name and password but also the website or application where those credentials are used, along with other sensitive information.
Security misconfiguration is the most common vulnerability on the list, and is often the result of using default configurations or displaying excessively verbose errors. For instance, an application could show a user overly-descriptive errors which may reveal vulnerabilities in the application.
Poor password habits such as updating the passwords with sequential numbers, symbols, or letters make dictionary attacks easier. Sensitive URLs such as admin pages are sometimes accessible publicly. Some applications will not force users to use a strong password during registration.
Threats to Passwords Phishing/keyloggers/sniffers. The simplest way to discover someones password is to have them tell you it. Cracking of hashes/brute force. Offline cracking. Password recovery/reset systems. Educated guesswork. Reuse of Passwords. Default passwords. Password embedded in code.
Password tips Never share your password or send it in email. Choose a password as long as possible. Use a varied combination of upper and lower case letters, symbols and numbers. Use a unique password for every unique service. Consider using a password manager such as KeePass or LastPass.
