Other more complex ways include éphisting, where hackers create a website that imitates the website of a service you use and once you hand in your credentials, information has been stolen.
However, it seems that hackers may have found another way to steal passwords from users, and that's how you write them.
In a recent study published by Cambridge University, England, and Linköping University in Sweden, they seem to have found passwords based on how you write.
It's not the perfect system because according to research, their algorithm managed to think 31 out of 50 federal entrances in 10 attempts.
It may be imagined that longer passwords may present a greater challenge because of the number of possible combinations, but the fact that it can still be assumed is a little disturbing.
The method involved users who printed their phones or tablets, where sound waves created by fingers hitting the keyboard, then traveled to the telephone microphone and thus allowed the algorithm to understand a possible password.
That, of course, depends on hackers infecting your virus device and gaining access to your device microphone, but the fact that such a possibility exists is a little scary.
