Pins like "abcdef", "123456" or "mylove" MAY MAKE YOU CRY

Well, you may not know this before, but take time to read. My friend's Mum got home after withdrawing a sum of money from her account in one of the of old generation Banks in Nigeria, alas, as she alighted, her phone rang, she picked it and a surprise voice echoed. "Madam, you have just withdrawn...amount from your.... Bank". She was surprised who that could be.

Someone also sometimes received an alert that an amount had been withdrawn from his account, on getting to his bank, he was told that he withdrew the Money from ATM.....He argued, shouted, threatened, but eventually burst off crying.

Your carelessness with your password may cause more trouble than your dear health can cope with.

WHO CAN ATTACK YOUR ACCOUNT?: Please note this, out of 4 most able attackers of your account, which are Family/friend, Tech acquaintance, Insiders (bank officials), and Harkers; your family/friend constitute about 62% of the threat, tech acquaintance, 8%, Insiders, 34% and hackers, 27% (pls note cases of multiple responses).

COMMON MEANS THROUGH WHICH YOUR ACCOUNT CAN BE ATTACKED:
Careless revelation of your password to Phisers, careless dropping of your bank details at common points for family and friends to see, ignorant disclosure of password to bank officials, solicited help at points of cash collection (ATM, POS) and activities of harckers, forceful release of your password to robbers..

HOW TO MANAGE YOUR PASSWORD:
1. Don't use common words like, "love", "Happy" or your name.
2. Don't use close alphabets or numbers like, ABCDEF, 123456...these are very cheap for hackers to get.
3. Periodically, make it a duty to change your password.
4. Use lower case, uppercase, punctuation marks, numbers and distant alphabets.
5. Use password you can memorise.
6. If you may need to write down your pass word, you must encrypt it in a secret document or safe places in your inner room.
7. Dont tell your bank official your password under any circumstances.
8.And for some of you that use the same pass word for every account, pls desist from it.
