The easiest way into an organization is through its employees.<\/h2>\n

That’s because the security barrier that exists between an attacker and the company’s information assets is often something as simple as an employee’s security awareness.<\/p>\n

The key to the organization and its assets are usually protected by a password that the employee can choose entirely himself, based on some fixed requirements such as special characters, upper\/lower case letters and password length. The employee is expected to remember this password along with all other passwords.<\/p>\n

The solution for many will be to reuse the same login details, username and password, in several places, and in the worst case, everywhere. It is enough for a site to leak user data such as passwords.<\/p>\n<\/div>

There is a market for leaked passwords<\/h2>\n

On the internet today there are databases with user accounts and passwords that can be purchased at a relatively affordable price – roughly around \u20ac0.2 per account. These login credentials come from websites and systems that have either accidentally leaked the credentials or simply been hacked.<\/p>\n

The information in a leaked database often consists of a username or email, and a password. So, what if a user has the same username and password for all e-commerce stores, email accounts, websites and services. Exactly, it is enough for one of the services to suffer a leak for you to lose access and open up to data breaches to all sites that have the same password. Then it doesn’t matter at all if you have the world’s strongest password.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
