My Password is Too Strong for Attackers

While having a strong password can help keep most bad actors out, it may not keep all out. In this video, James talks about the ways attackers may take advantage of the shortcomings of password authentication and how to avoid becoming a victim.

The cyber myths debunked in this video:

- My password is too strong for an attack

- I’m not important enough to attack

It’s hard to believe that attacks may come from internal sources; for some, it’s the last place they’d expect. But, unfortunately, attackers may be closer than you think. James covers a few examples of security incidents from internal sources and the ways to prevent them.

The cyber myths debunked in this video:

The cyber myths debunked in this video:

- Those I know through social media can't hurt me

- I only visit common websites, so I'm safe

- I can always spot a scam because they are obvious
