The Dhaka Times Desk Many people worry about the complications of hacking their mail or social media accounts. Apart from phishing links, your mobile phone gets malware. The responsibility of these is often due to the error or security deficiency of the online service of mail, Facebook or bank account. Sometimes your own carelessness is also responsible for this.
And in this opportunity, the syndicate grabs important information and money. So many people use long passwords to protect themselves from hacking. Mail services will also tell you the same thing i.e. long password. However, how much security can this long password give you? Tech research firm Specops has given you that answer. Find out their information today.
They believe that long passwords are more secure than short ones. However, there are many cases of long passwords being hacked. Specops recently researched over 800 million hacked passwords. Various aspects of these passwords are examined. The report shows that out of 80 crore, 21 crore 25 lakh passwords had 8 characters. This means that about 85 percent of passwords that are hacked are less than 12 characters.
8 character passwords are seen as default passwords in Microsoft's system software or Active Dictionary. That is, it is basically a weak password, which can be hacked at any time. So Specops considers passwords longer than 12 characters to be strong passwords. However, the risk of losing such passwords is also very high. Research reports that 12.15 million of the passwords that were hacked were 12 or more characters long. On the other hand, about 3 crore 11 lakh passwords are hacked even if they are longer than 16 characters!
While a longer password is at risk of being hacked, it will still protect your account more than a shorter password. Long passwords are generally better, says Darren James, senior product manager at Specops. However, this is not new news for IT professionals. However, despite long passwords, various types of bait (phishing) can still get into your secure email. Your password can also be hacked using this. Source: Specops.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
