No matter how much you nag people, plead with them and warn them, these mistakes and risky behaviors never seem to end.
Using the Same Password for Work and Personal Accounts
Using separate, strong passwords for work and non-work is such a pain. The only bigger pain is when passwords are stolen, leading to other people using your accounts without your knowledge to steal sensitive data. For example, the massive breach at Target began when someone stole the credentials of an HVAC contractor. At Home Depot, attackers used a vendor's username and password to steal credit card details for 56 million people. A Verizon Data Breach Report found that a staggering 76 percent of network intrusions began with stolen credentials. We've all been warned about password safety, but apparently some people aren't listening!
