Scams are rising fast.
Not just more scams. Smarter, AI-powered, and massively scaled scams.
Add to that how accessible hardware has become:
- Tools like Flipper Zero, Kode Dot, and Raspberry Pi
- Cheap, portable, and increasingly powerful
- Capable of probing Wi-Fi networks, IoT devices, and weak security setups
If your password is easy to guess, reused, or already leaked, youโre an easy target.
๐ 2026 is not a good year to have a bad password.
What you should do starting NOW, if you havenโt already:
- Use long, unique passwords (minimum 14โ16 characters)
- Never reuse passwords across services
- Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) everywhere itโs available
- Prefer app-based MFA or hardware keys over SMS
