We all love the films about hacking. Like when a detective is trying to get into a secret computer and manages
to crack the code just before the criminal comes through the door. These films are thrilling because they seem
inaccessible. But did you know, hacking isn’t just to do with glamorous cases like taking over government schemes
or robbing banks?

The most common hacking happens to ordinary people with any online account. And the only thing standing
between a criminal and your private information is a password. So you need to make it count.
