Boardroom security talks always have:
✅ MFA advocates
✅ Phishing trainers
❌ The “password spreadsheet” guy
Security basics matter. MFA + phishing awareness + strong passwords block the majority of breaches.
What’s the worst advice you’ve heard in a security meeting?

How safe are your passwords? The chart in the article shows how long passwords of various lengths and character combinations take to hack. If you have passwords in the purple or red areas then you need to change them, NOW!
Passwords don't work. Passwordless authentication isn’t an experiment. It’s a requirement. https://hackernoon.com/passwords-are-dead-whats-your-excuse-for-still-using-them #passwordsecurity

🔓 Did You Know?
A staggering 80% of breaches happen due to weak or stolen passwords.
One compromised account can open the door to your entire network.
It’s time to get serious about strong credentials, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and IAM policies that actually work.
Ready to lock the front door?

🔐 **Hot take: Bitwarden + Aegis is the ultimate security combo** 🔐
✅ **True 2FA separation** - passwords & TOTP codes in different apps (actual security, not convenience security)
✅ **100% open source** - no black boxes, full transparency
✅ **Costs basically nothing** - Bitwarden free tier + free Aegis = enterprise-grade security on a student budget
✅ **Your data stays YOURS** - no Big Tech overlords changing policies overnight
✅ **Rock-solid backups** - cloud sync + local encrypted backups = sleep peacefully
Stop paying $60/year for password managers that want to do everything poorly. Get two tools that each do ONE thing perfectly.
Your future hacked self will thank you 🙏

*Boost if you've made the switch! 🚀*
I sometimes see memes about "don't do these 'get to know me' memes because you'll expose your passwords or security question answers".
Honestly, we already do a lot of that in the course of filling out social media platforms and using those platforms? If you're on LinkedIn or Facebook for example, your mother's maiden name is probably in your profile, along with the college you graduated from.
The real lesson is "stop doing security questions truthfully" and "stop having passwords based on things about you and your friends". SQs are a far more common backdoor to take control of someone else's account. Treat "security" answers as additional passwords.
Weak or compromised passwords are still one of the most common ways attackers get into an organisation’s network.
That’s why running password audits in Active Directory is so important. But smaller companies often don’t have the time, budget, or resources to do them regularly.
Our latest blog post gives you a step-by-step guide to run a proper password audit using free tools available online.
📌Read here: https://www.pentestpartners.com/security-blog/how-to-conduct-a-password-audit-in-active-directory-ad/
Why do audits and training matter?
Without regular audits to spot gaps, and proper staff training on how to create strong, secure passwords, breaches can and do happen. Technical tools alone won’t stop them.
In most cases, the weakest part of the system isn’t the technology, it’s the people using it. That’s why it is important to train users on how to set strong passwords, which can then be audited.

16 Billion Leaked Credentials? Don’t panic—this isn’t a new data breach.
Headlines about a “historic data breach” are making waves, but this isn’t a new breach. The story about 16 billion credentials circulating online is actually a compilation of old leaks, mostly gathered by infostealer malware and credential stuffing attacks.
However, this is a good reminder about your cybersecurity hygiene. Remember to protect yourself and your organization:
• Use strong, unique passwords for every account
• Store them securely with a reputable password manager
• Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA)—preferably with an app like Authy or Google Authenticator
• Scan your devices for malware before changing passwords if you suspect an infection

HIBP 2.0 (Have I Been Pwned) has launched with a redesigned interface, improved search features, and a new Breach Page that provides incident details and recovery tips.
Users can now receive breach notifications, and domain search has been enhanced. Support for usernames and phone numbers has been removed.
My personal advice: never disclose passwords online.
