During the pandemic, approximately 60% of full-time and part-time employees in the U.S. worked remotely. Firms weren’t ready for their employees to work remotely, but many employers quickly realized the benefits of remote work. As remote work became more common, the number of cyber criminals increased drastically. IT professionals have never been more cautious with their work security.
When a data breach appears in the news (which has happened a lot recently), many of us picture a hacker in a black hoodie, trawling through reams of code on a custom-built PC. We often imagine them finding a single mistake – a zero that should be a one, or vice versa – that lets them slip through a company’s defenses.
It’s no surprise that cyberattacks are skyrocketing. Report after report indicates they’ve exploded in recent years as cybercriminals take advantage of the rapid proliferation of endpoints, growing reliance on digital devices, and shift toward remote and hybrid work. However, as the number of attacks increases, the types of attacks remain surprisingly simple. You guessed it. They’re still going after passwords, credentials and secrets.
We live in the 21st century, where now kids are able to access the internet on their own from as early as 8 years old. Today’s youth are often called “digital natives” because they are so comfortable with living online. But as much as we may admire their proficiency with their devices, we shouldn’t forget that security is probably not top of mind.

You’ve heard it time and time again: you need a strong password to keep your online accounts safe. Creating complex passwords can be complicated to remember, thats why having a password manager is crucial to remembering all your different passwords without the fear of forgetting your password or risking using an easy password which is guessable to hackers.
Using your browser’s password manager to save the passwords for all your accounts can be tempting. Although it seems like it’s going to be the most seamless experience, it’s actually not. Browser password managers are not safe because they are not encrypted and they can be easily compromised – leading to your passwords also being compromised and more. Read on to learn why browser password managers are not safe to utilize.
