The most common passwords leaked on the dark web included number combinations like “123456” and “111111.”

First, cybersecurity experts suggest that individuals regularly ensure their computers, phones and other software are updated.— usually advising people to use eight or more characters, mix uppercase and lowercase letters, and add numbers and special characters. NordPass recommends making a password out of a sentence, such as the line of a favorite song or a random sentence. For example: "Zaragotnicetrousersonsalefor$49.99" or "Causeifyoulikedit,thenyoushouldhaveputaringonit.

Individuals can also double-check that all passwords are secure by two-factor authentication where available, as it adds an extra layer for hackers to break through.
