One lost or stolen password may be the crack in your organization’s foundation, allowing an attacker to slip in. Conventional password recommendations have held that regular changes and lengthy and complex passwords would keep attackers at bay. Many guidelines have been published, but in recent years, conventional wisdom has been changing. One such guideline, initially published in 2017 but updated in 2020, is the NIST Password Guideline Standards (NIST Special Publication 800-63 Revision 3). A […]

Typically, they do so to launch a much larger attack such as ransomware. The Index also found that phishing was used in 41% of the attacks that X-Force remediated in 2021. That’s a 33% increase from 2021. One of the biggest reasons threat actors are increasing phishing attacks is that all it takes is one employee to make a split-second mistake to cause major business and reputation loss. Cybersecurity workers must continually stay on top of […]

Already decades in use, MFA adoption became more commonplace post-pandemic thanks to remote work conditions. While companies like Google and Microsoft have claimed how MFA blocks all but .01% of account abuse attacks, the sad truth is that MFA is far from perfect, and attacks are on the rise. How does MFA fall short? Verizon research pegs 82% of all cyberattacks on human error (stolen credentials, phishing, misuse). Attackers need some level of human involvement to circumvent MFA controls. Phishing and social engineering tactics help distract users while different techniques […]

Blogs and other websites need to support themselves somehow, and they typically do so by on-site advertising. However, while the website itself might be perfectly legitimate, some of the advertising networks they work with are guilty of peddling a lot of junk or, worse still, becoming the favourite marketing tools for scammers and spammers. For example, in 2016, American business magazine Forbes partnered with major advertising network Revcontent, which is commonly used by […]
