Whenever players wants to play in an online casino, he/she is to register for a virtual account to be a real money player. When creating an identity within the virtual gaming site, a required password is usually created for security reasons.
When choosing a password, one player should bear in mind to carefully choose a password that is likely unique and will properly hide your personal account to frauds. Passwords may refer to keys to your front doors. Keeping a standard chosen password is for you to consider to keep hackers out of your way.
Most of the players are leaving their real money account to risk from cheaters and identity theft simply because they choose short and simple password that is prone to hackers.
Based on the findings by data security expert, Imperva, found that some people choose passwords which made up of six and fewer characters, and 60% of them prefer using passwords from a limited set of alpha-numeric characters. The findings says that 50% of casino users account opt to choose passwords mainly composed of names, slang words, dictionary words or trivial words such as consecutive digits or adjacent keyboard keys. And 50% of them also used the same password for all of the websites they are registering not knowing the risk to online cheaters or even identity theft.
The Chief Technical Officer of Imperva, Amichai Shulman, once advices people to avoid using common/same passwords in different websites at the same time such as social networking, shopping and online banking sites. Shulman stated "Everyone needs to understand what the combination of poor passwords means in today's world of automated cyber attacks: with only minimal effort, a hacker can gain access to one new account every second - or 17 minutes to break into 1,000 accounts".
Furthermore, one player may avoid using single word that can be found at dictionaries. For hackers often used an automated program which commonly known as the 'dictionary attack'. Passwords with less than seven digits long are particularly susceptible to dictionary attacks. Another thing is to do not forget to change passwords on a regular basis specially if it contains your personal and private information. Much better if you don't expose most of your private information online for the virtual world is not a safe place to keep it. It may be hacked and worst your information might be used at some illegal activities. Thus, preventing your game and winnings at casinos to be cheated and stolen.
