Phrase: Play into your hands

Unfortunately, when we take security for granted, we play into someone’s hands, especially those of the hackers who want to attack us.

Our world is increasingly becoming digital, and taking digital security for granted is widespread.


When you play into someone’s hands, you unintentionally give them the advantage. Change your passwords don’t play into hackers’ hands.


The easiest way to play into the hackers’ hands is to use one simple password for all of your devices and apps.

By doing this, you are giving the advantage to the hackers.

All they have to do is guess your password, and they have access to everything you do and will burn you.

Don’t play into their hands.

Be sure you have a different password for each device and app you use.

Make sure that the passwords are lengthy and complicated.

Change your passwords often.

These are not difficult things to do.

Changing your passwords may be time-consuming, but it’s better than playing into someone’s hands.

Hackers want to hurt and steal from you.

Don’t play into their hands.

Remember, you unintentionally give them the advantage when you play into someone’s hands.

Don’t take digital security for granted, and don’t play into the hands of hackers.
