According to the tech news site Cyberscoop, authorities arrested a 38-year-old man for allegedly getting himself hired by U.S. and British companies under false identities.

Cybersecurity has evolved from a technical challenge to a strategic business imperative.

Unfortunately, compromising basic passwords is also surprisingly easy for threat actors today. For example, they can run a program that tries out various potential passwords for a particular user account.
