Security Nudge. Password Security: A Crucial Line Of Defense. Sponsored By CybSafe.
Spanish telecommunications company Telefónica is fighting to recover after cybercriminals stole 2.3 gigabytes of sensitive customer and business data. According to HackRead, the cybercriminals gained access to credentials used by some of the company’s employees, which allowed them to access Telefónica’s internal JIRA technical support ticketing system. This attack underscores a critical truth for every employee at every organization: your password security is a crucial line of defense. Using strong, unique passwords for work accounts, and changing them regularly, is not just a best practice—it's a fundamental responsibility in today's digital landscape. As Telefónica and so many other companies have found out the hard way, even the best security measures will fail if you hand cybercriminals the key to the front door.
