The #1 way a hacker will get you is…

A weak password is still the #1 way hackers break into your network. In fact, 81% of the total number of breaches last year utilized weak or stolen passwords!

Here’s what a GOOD password should contain:

• A minimum of eight characters.

• Uppercase and lowercase letters.

• At least one number and one symbol (#, for example).

• No complete words, like “PaSsWord123#.” While this meets the requirements, a hacker’s brute-force software will crack that in seconds.

• Never reuse a password for multiple accounts (like making your Facebook and LinkedIn passwords the same).
