Attack Methods

Dictionary Attack

Uses a pre-compiled list of common words and phrases (a "dictionary") to quickly guess passwords, exploiting the use of weak, simple words.

Brute-Force Attack

A systematic method that tries every possible combination of characters until the correct password is found. The longer and more complex the password, the longer this attack takes.

Phishing

Tricks users into revealing their passwords through deceptive websites, emails, or text messages that mimic legitimate services.

Keylogging

Malicious software that records every keystroke a user makes, capturing login credentials and other sensitive information as it is typed.


What to Do If Hacked

1. Disconnect and Secure

Disconnect from the internet and change all your passwords immediately on a different, secure device.

2. Notify and Freeze

Notify your bank and credit card companies, and consider placing a fraud alert on your credit report. You can start a fraud alert with any of the three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, or TransUnion.

3. Scan for Malware

Run a full antivirus and malware scan on all your devices to eliminate any malicious software.

4. Report the Incident

Report the incident to the appropriate authorities or cybersecurity organizations. You can find more information from the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
