Rather than roll out like the infamous Cray brothers, bursting in the front door with shotguns at the ready, they are crafty and subtle. Common examples include gathering personal details on social media (favourite teacher at school, favourite music etc \u2013 all those mindless quizzes on Facebook etc) \u2013 what these do is get the answer to their password reset questions. The more they know about you, the more they can use machine learning and AI to find patterns, helping them guess passwords based on the clues they gather.<\/p>\nSo, what can you do?
