Email security check Hackers attempting breach Email Systems

16/11/2018

Dear Valued Clients,
 
Please, can I advise all our contacts and clients the importance of strong complex passwords.
Cybercrime is real and increasing by the minute, please take the following steps to increase your security.
 
  1. A weak password is: Hello123, hello1, companyname1066, password, these are easy passwords to crack.
  2. A strong password is jUp1ter1918! – this password is strong it has uppercase, lowercase, numbers and special characters so that hackers cannot get into your email systems, one drive, Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud and SharePoint systems etc.
  3. Stronger password: #5454sesweYGYSD#!
 
We advise not advertising your email address in plain text on your websites, check a trade, yell, Facebook etc. As bots can scan these plain text email and start to make attempts to break your systems. It is better to have a contact form or your telephone number on the world wide web.
 
The next stage would be to introduce Multi-factor authentication (MFA) or Two-factor authentication (2FA) or Two-step verification. Some of these methods you will need IT expert setup.
 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-factor_authentication
 
Multi-factor authentication is a method of confirming a user's claimed identity in which a computer user is granted access only after successfully presenting two or more pieces of evidence to an authentication mechanism: knowledge, possession, and inference.
 
Many Thanks, have a great Friday and weekend.
