Answer 9

Password spraying is a type of brute-force cyberattack where an attacker attempts to gain access to multiple accounts by trying a few commonly used passwords (e.g., Password123, Welcome1, qwerty123) across many accounts, rather than trying multiple passwords on a single account. This technique helps attackers avoid account lockouts that occur after multiple failed login attempts on a single account.
