CyberSense Ep. 12 - Credential Stuffing
Loading player...
Hackers use bots to try your leaked passwords on every website. If you reuse passwords, they can break in.
Your 3-Step Defense Plan:
USE A PASSWORD MANAGER: This is your #1 tool. It creates and stores a strong, unique password for every account. You only remember one master password.
TURN ON 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication): Add a second step to logins (like a texted code). Even with your password, a hacker can't get in without this.
CHECK IF YOU'RE ALREADY PAWNED: Go to haveibeenpwned.com (a safe, free site). See if your email is in known data breaches. If it is, change those passwords NOW.
Bottom Line: One password for everything is a master key for criminals. Make every password unique.
Stay safe out there!
