    Example: If the password is sunshine, football, welcome123, password1, etc. These are all in
                        dictionary lists. Attackers download dictionaries with millions of words and combine them
                        with numbers like sunil123, hello2024, india@123, etc.

                         Social  engineering-based  guessing: Attackers guess  passwords  based  on  the  victim’s
                        personal information. sources attackers observe social media (birthday, pet name, school
                        name), public profiles, photos, and conversations.

                        Common passwords people create:

                             Aditi@123 (name + 123)

                             Tommy55 (pet name)

                         Keylogging: Keylogging uses malicious software (keylogger) to record every keystroke entered
                        on a computer.

                          If a keylogger is installed, the email and password typed on the keyboard are recorded, and
                        all the recorded information is then secretly sent to the attacker.
