Password re-use remains a huge security issue for the general users as users feel like they can’t remember yet another password so they set up new accounts using an old stand-by.
The problem is that by now all of those old stand-by passwords have been filed away in databases by criminal hackers. They’re actively using them to break into accounts using brute force attacks.
Usernames, email addresses, and passwords have been exposed by the billions over the past several years. Creating a new account on Zoom — or any service, for that matter — is simply not a good idea.
Hackers will come knocking. It’s not a question of if. It’s a question of when.
To keep your own account from falling victim to a brute force attacks use unique, strong passwords. Passwords so strong you can’t even remember them.
If you set up a Zoom account recently using one of your old passwords used in facebook, twitter, email or else where reset it to something much more secure than previous one.
