The question is how a hacker is supposed to know potential victims dog's name or his neighbor's name?
Hacking is not guessing password it is more technical

Social engineering, spying, facebook analysis, who knows?

But even if they dont find it out, putting your dog's name in the password is not secure anyway because its not complex enough.


Unless your dog's name is something like:  b*-k{EWamPd(b]S!Rtjg

Otherwise don't do it.

The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

I bet most of the time good hackers don't even need sophisticated software, just a good partial and a dash of mined social data.

If the person is dumb enough to put a password of his dog's name or his neighbors name, then he might deserve it.

Passwords should always be separate from your social info.
I think there is always a password to use the name or the name of the nearest person you love. although you use passwrod under the terms like capital letters and special characters. hackers can still break through your security. to do is add 2FA for each account

Could you use this service? Not a bad venture if you ask me...

http://www.coindesk.com/meet-man-will-hack-long-lost-bitcoin-wallet-money/

If you're going to give it a try you'll probably need some of these: https://spendabit.co/go?q=gpu

I thought the wallets couldn't be hacked. Undecided He has a 30% success rate. That's pretty high.
The rate will be higher if you do not add antivirus on your computer? Why ?
there are many ways to hack the wallet including a virus or malware if you do not have antivirus on the computer
surely you will not know if your computer is infected superbly and all your data can be retrieved by a hacker so be careful
