Why you should never send passwords in plaintext
When it comes to online communication, protecting sensitive information is a priority. Sending secrets such as passwords, credit card numbers, and personal details in plaintext, i.e., unencrypted form, is like handing a stranger your house keys. Here's why it's unsafe:
- Easy to intercept: In plaintext, your sensitive information travels through the internet unprotected. Hackers can easily intercept and read these details, leading to potential misuse.
- No trace of misuse: Once your data is intercepted, it can be exploited without your knowledge. Tracking such misuse is near impossible.
- Lack of privacy: By sending plaintext secrets, you lose control over who sees your information. It could potentially be accessed by unauthorized persons or even companies for illicit purposes.
