Happy World Password Day! Join me in celebrating this special day and let's prioritize online security together. Keep your data safe with my simple recipe for a strong password: - Use a unique password for each account - Make your password strong by mixing letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, and special symbols - Avoid using easy-to-guess words or phrases, or anything related to your name, pet, birthday, anniversaries, etc. - Ensure it's at least 12 characters long. Thanks to CyberSafe Foundation for the opportunity to be a cyber girl! I didn't even know there was such a day. #WorldPasswordDay #CyberSecurity #PasswordProtection #StaySafeOnline

Some have never had a pen test before, but most of them have pen tests ever year. 🚫 Local administrator password reuse 🚫 NBNS/LLMNR Relaying 🚫 IPv6 DNS Spoofing Learn about recommendations here: https://lnkd.in/gEHi9ZWP #cybersecurity #penetrationtest #avaloncyber #hackernews #passwords #cyber
