Ever heard of "password spraying"? Probably not. But it doesn’t sound great, right?
Although not many people know about it, password spraying is an increasingly common type of cyber attack. And, as a business owner, it’s important that you are aware of it.
In a password spraying attack, scammers try the same easy-to-guess password on a wide range of accounts (instead of trying multiple passwords on one account). This can help them avoid detection, making it a popular tactic for breaking into business systems.
Password spraying can give cyber criminals access to all your business data, slow down your operations, and even damage your reputation if they manage to get hold of customer information.
What can you do to protect your business?
Make sure you and your team use strong, unique passwords and consider extra layers of protection like two-factor authentication.
Better yet, use a password manager tool to create better passwords that you don’t have to remember.
Taking a few steps now to strengthen your security can make a big difference. And if you need help keeping your accounts secure, get in touch.
