Many people use the same password for all accounts and think that’s ok. Whether it’s logging into their computer, a banking website, or simply signing up for something, there’s a high risk when using the same password for each. A banking website will have all the necessary security measure in place to minimize the risk of your password being listed on the dark web. However, the simple account you created to sign up for something may not implement all the tools and because of this your password is now on the dark web. Now, bad actors will use this password to attempt logging into that secure banking website and guess what? Because it’s the same password they now have access to your bank account. If you are reading this, stop and go make those passwords different. At the very least to the important websites like your bank account and all your online shopping sites.
CBTech Support implements standards to help protect and monitor your passwords. We offer dark web monitoring and password management system to help identify:
– Passwords in use for a long period of time
– Weak passwords
– Exposed passwords
Many small businesses feel their company is too small to be target by hackers. Smaller companies are a target because they tend to have weaker security measures in place. To a hacker, that means data is behind your door which is easy to unlock/bypass. Maybe it’s not your company data they are after but the data you store about your customers/clients. Here are some recent statistics which always surprise small business owners:
– Almost two-thirds of all cyberattacks are now directed at small businesses
– 61% of breaches actually hit smaller businesses last year
– 60% of small businesses go out of business within six months of an attack
*According to USA Today (https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/columnist/strauss/2017/10/20/cyber-threat-huge-small-businesses/782716001/)
