Item Análisis de vulnerabilidad en contraseñas de correos electrónicos(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024) Caicedo Olaya, William Alexander; Rojas Cardona, Brayan Esteban; Marcus Martínez, Alejandro (Director)In the digital age, password security has become critically important due to the increased reliance on online platforms for both personal and professional information management. With increasing connectivity and the massive sharing of sensitive data via email, password-related vulnerabilities have increased significantly. Weak passwords, reuse of credentials and attacks such as phishing and cracking expose both individuals and organizations to the risk of unauthorized access and data exploitation. This study focuses on the analysis of vulnerable passwords in emails, examining the most common cases of poor password management practices. Password-related threats not only affect individual users, but also compromise critical infrastructures and essential services, magnifying the impact of potential security breaches. Among the strategies proposed are multi-factor authentication, the use of automatically generated passwords using algorithms, and the implementation of password managers to create complex and secure credentials. The research reveals patterns of vulnerability that reinforce the urgent need to improve email security practices. It also underscores the importance of a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity, in which both users and technology developers share responsibility for fostering a culture of security that protects privacy and maintains trust in digital platforms. Proper password protection is key to ensuring data integrity.
