https://lnkd.in/g2JSw_e4 Keylogging might sound like technical jargon, but its implications touch everyone who uses a computer. Whether you're typing a password, entering your credit card information, or sending a confidential email, keyloggers can capture all of this silently.

I know it’s tempting, given the myriad of accounts and apps that 21st century life entails…but dont reuse passwords, folks. Industrial-scale hacks like these are only likely to become more frequent. To protect your privacy: 1. Use a secure password manager to generate and store unique strong credentials 2. Enable multi-factor authentication wherever it is available 3. Consider using disposable email address aliases using a service such as Apple’s excellent ‘Hide My Email’ feature Time to update those passwords! Yes, it can be time-consuming, but changing a few per day will do the trick (it’s a pretty good use of ‘toilet time’ 🤣)

"urgh I have to change my password again, what do they want me to do now? , capitals , symbols , jump through a ring of fire?" "who would even want to steal my account? , there's nothing useful there " "I just want to do my work and this is just a complete annoyance" Does the above sound familiar? I get it , I really do but there is reasoning behind complex password policies. It's not just to annoy you , it can protect not only your data but prevent someone getting unauthorised access to the company network that you work for. Back in 2017 what started off as a standard pc repair job turned into a nightmare. I forgot my USB drive with the software recovery tools and files I utilise within my repairs . A complete lapse in judgement I thought I could just log into my Google Drive and retrieve them , log in...to an account...on an infected pc, I know idiotic I would do such a thing and not a mistake I would be repeating but after the job had finished I went home. Just getting in bed , I look at my phone and could have sworn I briefly witnessed an Amazon email notification but I couldn't see it when looking again, I thought I must have imagined it , then it flashes up again and disappeared, suspicious of it I check my email to find someone has been making purchases on my amazon account then deleting the notification email I received. They had got my details from the infected device and proceeded to acquire all my saved passwords from my Google account, changing some to one's they wanted , and withdrawing as much money as possible through different services like PayPal. I spent the next 48 hours speaking with my banks fraud team , had to cancel all my cards , had to prove to numerous parties that it was me they were speaking with, change my password for every single account I had and enable multi factor authentication on one's that allowed it. In this instance whilst a complex password wouldn't have saved me , having multifactor authentication and complex passwords for accounts that were not saved to my Google account would have , that and not being a complete idiot by signing into an account on an infected device 🤦🏻♂️ I would not want anyone I know to ever go through that , it truly did suck and was extremely stressful ,so whatever you do: ●secure your accounts ●use multifactor authentication when you can, if someone does get your password then atleast it will prevent access to your account. ●set a variety of complex passwords for all your accounts to limit the risk of your account being bruteforced and compromised. If you are struggling to come up with a complex password, https://www.dinopass.com/ is a very useful site. So yes password changing can be annoying at times but trust me when I say it's to help keep you safe 🙂 #passwordsecurity , #mfa , #passwordsafety

Time to update ALL of your passwords. A strong password is: - At least 12 characters long but 14 or more is better so make it 14! - A combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. - Not a word that can be found in a dictionary or the name of a person, character, product, or organization. - Significantly different from your previous passwords. Hint - use “$” in place of “S” or “@“ in place of “a” or “3” in place of “E”.
