    Security Nudge. Use Unique & Complex Passwords. Sponsored By CybSafe.

    Think your employees are good at security? You’re in the minority. Recent studies reveal that personal accounts, particularly social media, are frequently compromised. A recent Yubico survey found that 47% of Gen Z users and 46% of Millennials reported having had their social media account passwords hacked. This translates to potentially tens of millions of stolen credentials that cybercriminals could leverage to access other, more sensitive services, including online banking, email, and cryptocurrency accounts. If employees reuse passwords across personal and work systems, a compromised social media account can create significant security risks for your organization. A single compromised password could provide attackers with access to internal networks, sensitive data, and critical systems. Therefore, it’s crucial to emphasize to your employees the importance of using unique and complex passwords for all accounts, especially ensuring that personal passwords are never reused for work-related systems. On a positive note, the same Yubico survey indicated a growing understanding among Gen Z of the value of multi-factor authentication, or MFA, in bolstering social media account security. Encourage your employees to extend this practice to all accounts, especially work accounts, as MFA significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access, even if a password is compromised.
