With a 33% year-on-year increase in cyber attacks in the first quarter of 2024, India has been one of the most targeted nations in the world, a Check Point Software Technologies Ltd report said. Cybercriminals target people, businesses, and governments by finding weaknesses in computer systems and networks. They use various methods like phishing scams and ransomware to steal sensitive information. A weak PIN is the easiest way for attackers to breach any system. A weak PIN could be something obvious such as “1234” or “0000,” or something easily guessable based on personal information, like your birth date or phone number.Choosing a simple or easily guessable PIN can make you an easy target for cybercriminals. It is important to prioritise security when selecting a PIN to protect your accounts and devices. A strong, unique PIN can significantly reduce the risk of unauthorised access to your sensitive information.
