Why Passwords Aren't Enough: How AI Can Crack Your Security in Seconds

Think your strong password will protect you from hackers? Think again! AI-powered algorithms are cracking passwords at lightning speed. A recent Forbes article reveals that an AI algorithm can guess 87 million passwords in under a minute—showing just how vulnerable even complex passwords can be. While two-factor authentication (2FA) is a step in the right direction, even that isn’t foolproof. Hackers are using SIM swapping to bypass 2FA, exposing sensitive information like bank accounts, business data, and personal information.

What should you do to protect yourself? Experts recommend having a backup plan in place. One strategy is the 7-day rule for your Google account—if a password change occurs, you can revert it back within 7 days. But what if your business or bank account is compromised? Having a solid response plan can help mitigate the damages.

In this video, we’ll discuss the importance of multi-factor authentication (MFA) and how it can safeguard your accounts. However, don’t rely solely on passwords—make sure you have an effective plan for cyberattack recovery.
