Getting caught at my own game.
⤵️
In my day to day I help other stay secure online amongst many other digital practices.

Woke up this morning to someone accessing my Walmart account overnight and ordering 2x GoPros 📹

-
What did I do wrong - well many things -
1️⃣ Stored CC online vice a PayPal account (PayPal does provide another layer of security)

2️⃣ Walmart account not protected with a multifactor authentication.
(Ie SMS or Multifactor application.

3️⃣ Password was a older password that was not changed in a few years.
-

How I am ensuring this won’t happen again.

1️⃣ reviewing all other application where I use this password. To do this I use a password manager; many out there.

*(I use bitwarden, but many other out there, Last Pass, Samsung Pass, Apple Keychain, Chrome password) *

2️⃣ identified all of the one I was still using and changed them.

3️⃣ Mutli factor was not enabled (bad on me) - now enabled it. if it happens again ill get a text with a 6 digit code.

4️⃣ remove my credit card from walmart and linked a paypal account. paypal is more secure as it provide a additional layer.

5️⃣ then I changed the password along with the other application I was using and made it the longest possible with Bitwarden.

🔒 Safeguarding your passwords is crucial in today's digital age. Here are 3 quick tips to store them securely:

1️⃣ Use a reliable password manager: Avoid the hassle of remembering multiple passwords by utilizing a trusted password manager. It securely stores all your credentials, ensuring easy access and strong encryption.

2️⃣ Create strong, unique passwords: Don't compromise on password strength. Craft a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Avoid using easily guessable information like your name or birthdate.

3️⃣ Enable two-factor authentication (2FA): Add an extra layer of security by activating 2FA whenever possible. This feature requires a verification code, ensuring that even if your password is compromised, unauthorized access is prevented.

Remember, keeping your passwords safe is essential for protecting your online accounts and sensitive information. Stay vigilant and adopt these practices today! 🔐💪

🔒 Protect your enterprise from cyber threats! 💻🛡️

Did you know that cyber attacks can cost businesses millions of dollars in damages? It's crucial to stay one step ahead of hackers by implementing effective cyber security training programs in your enterprise. Here are three training techniques that can make all the difference:

1️⃣ Phishing Awareness: Train your employees to spot malicious emails and avoid falling for phishing scams. By educating them about common red flags and providing examples of real-life phishing attempts, you can significantly reduce the risk of a security breach.

2️⃣ Password Hygiene: Encourage strong passwords and regular password updates. Teach your team to create unique, complex passwords that include a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters. Remember, a strong password is the first line of defense against unauthorized access.

3️⃣ Social Engineering Awareness: Hackers often exploit the human element to gain unauthorized access. Educate your employees about different social engineering tactics used by cybercriminals, such as baiting, tailgating, or impersonation. By being aware of these techniques, your team can identify and report suspicious behavior promptly.

Remember, cyber security is a shared responsibility. By investing in comprehensive training programs, you empower your employees to become the first line of defense against cyber threats. Stay vigilant, stay informed, and protect your enterprise from potential risks!
