PSA: Change Your Passwords

Filed under: Cybersecurity — Patrick Durusau @ 10:46 am

Social media is exploding with news of a new hack, this one: Passwords for 32M Twitter accounts may have been hacked and leaked by Catherine Shu, Kate Conger.

Twitter.com denies the hack, figures and I haven’t read any reliable confirmations of it.

Still, it’s probably time you changed your Twitter password and turned on two-factor authentication?

BTW, you aren’t re-using passwords are you?

That is your Twitter password isn’t the same password as your root password to the enterprise server? (Forget I asked. I don’t want to know.)

While changing your Twitter password, consider changing any weak or re-used passwords.

Password managers make 20+ character passwords trivial to use.
