What are OneDrive security risks?

Someone may ask, “how safe is OneDrive?” OneDrive is very safe, but it becomes safer after you stop doing certain things that could expose your password to hackers.

First, using basic and simple passwords such as ABC222, Kennedy1, or 22110055 is a big risk to your OneDrive account. These simple passwords are guessable by hackers – you need a stronger password for your OneDrive account.

How to prevent OneDrive security risks

To prevent and protect your OneDrive account, these recommended practices are what you need to do.

Switch to a Stronger Password: Weak passwords are easy to guess, but stronger passwords are difficult. You can combine letters (capital and small letters) with numbers and special characters (@, #, %). Passwords that consist of these three entries are hard to guess.

Be Proactive: Always update your core software apps, including your antivirus app. Also, do not grant admin privileges to apps and persons you do not trust. If your OneDrive account has shared folders, ensure not to save your personal/private files or passwords in such folders.

Take action immediately if you notice or sense that your Office 365 account has been hijacked.
