You might be shocked at how easy it is to obtain your personal login information, and you probably won’t know it’s happened until it’s too late. The dark web–that hidden corner of the internet–is teeming with stolen credentials. Hackers access compromised passwords through data breaches, phishing scams, and malware attacks, then put them up for sale to anyone willing to pay. This makes strong password management, including the use of secure passwords and two-factor authentication (2FA) more important than ever. 

Planning for the unexpected is a key part of IT management for every organization. A solid business continuity plan that includes a disaster recovery process and secure data backups can make the difference between bouncing back or shutting down in the face of a disruption. Why are these strategies so crucial? Image a scenario where a cyberattack suddenly halts your operations. Without a continuity plan in place, this could lead to lost data, costly downtime, and potential damage to your business’s reputation.
