Cybersecurity expert Jake Moore said it was "very easy" for cybercriminals to get a password. Spoofed emails and phishing emails are popular ways to get passwords.
Email accounts like Gmail contain a great deal of stored personal information that can be used to hack you. Moore recommends using password managers on your phone, tablet, computer that store your passwords so you don't need to remember them. He also recommends using a technology that encrypts your passwords to prevent them being cracked.
