CompTIA ITF+ Practice Test

Question: 1 / 400

Joe, a user, finds out his password for a social media site has been compromised. Joe tells a friend that his email and banking accounts are probably also compromised. Which of the following has Joe MOST likely performed?

Strong password usage

Password rotation

Password reuse

Joe has most likely performed password reuse, which is when he used the same password for multiple accounts including his social media, email, and banking accounts. This is an unsafe practice because if one account is compromised, all other accounts that share the same password are also at risk. It is important to use strong and unique passwords for each account and regularly rotate them to ensure account security. Password salting, while a good security measure, is not something that Joe has done in this scenario.
