There are different ways of doing that some are as follows:

• • Internet browser installs in that computer that has been regularly use may not be properly secured.
  • Usage of unencrypted connections like UB Wireless, UB secure, etc.
  • Using clear text like HTTP or FTP can also leak the username or password.
  • Using a compromised or infected USB flash drive so that it can re-infected the machine.
  • one reason can be also if one shares a username and password with family and/or friends.
  • Sharing our information on fake/unreal websites. Sometimes, we fill online forms and share our username and password, and these forms and websites turn out to be malicious. So, it is advised to always check the URL/link before sharing any information on the internet.
