A photo posted on Twitter by Nain shows a woman wearing a see-through mask made from tulle material. The picture is taken from a salon named Zilda’s Beauty centre in Brazil.

Nain pointed out an important message through this picture by comparing the usefulness of the mask with keeping a simple password like ‘1234’ on any online account.

“A weak password and username is going to give you such protection only. #Cybersecurity,” reads the caption.

Take a look at the post:

“It’s true sir... so alphanumeric with symbol password required,” writes a Twitter user. “What an analogy,” comments another. “This is so irresponsible in the name of fashion,” says a third.

“Interesting message,” writes a fourth.
