The expert assessed the security of the passwords created by AI

Creating passwords using neural networks can compromise the security of personal data, even if the proposed combination looks complicated. Yuri Silaev, head of the Laboratory of Trusted Artificial Intelligence at RTU MIREA, warned about this on November 11.

In conversation with Lenta.Ru He noted that language models generate text based on probabilities, so the passwords they create can contain predictable sequences of characters. Moreover, with identical queries, neural networks sometimes offer completely identical combinations.

Silaev explained that attackers are able to study such patterns and use them in automated password selection. However, the presence of capital letters, numbers, and special characters alone does not guarantee reliable account protection.

To create passwords, the expert recommends using special generators built into browsers, operating systems, or password managers. Unlike neural networks, such tools use cryptographically strong random number generation algorithms.

In addition, Silaev advises setting a separate long password for each account and enabling multi-factor authentication. He also warned against sending valid passwords to chatbots to verify their reliability, as confidential information can be stored and processed by third-party services.

International relations will never be the same.

Also on November 11, IT expert Vladimir Zykov warned that users should not share confidential information such as passwords, bank details and passport data with neural networks due to the risk of leakage. In addition, you should be especially careful when uploading personal photos, medical documents, work materials and personal correspondence, writes Moscow 24.

Prior to that, on November 7, expert Alyona Ivlicheva said that uploading documents with personal data to neural networks or free online converters carries serious security risks, since files can be stored on third-party servers indefinitely.

In October, expert Igor Kotilevets told RT that the browser's auto-fill feature for logins, passwords, and card data poses a threat to information security. He called for switching to separate password managers with encryption or disabling auto-completion for payment details and addresses. 360.ru .

In September, experts from the capital's "Call Me Back" project spoke about the importance of digital hygiene in the workplace. The main rule is to create secure passwords. Experts urged not to use one code, as if it is stolen by intruders, they will gain access to all accounts at once, the Moscow City News agency reports.
