In the wake of the Optus breach, remind your clients and team members to do the following:
- never use the same passwords for different accounts (one breached account can mean all other accounts with the same credentials can be breached)
- don’t have “easy” passwords (never use your date of birth as a PIN, for example)
- use pass phrases or identity managers (strengthen your passwords as much as possible, or use an identity manage software)
- use multi-factor authentication wherever possible
- be wary of phishing emails (check out this guide on Spotting the Phishing Scam here by Practice Protect)
