🔒🚨 **Think Your Password is Safe? Think Again!** 🚨🔒 Did you know that a **bad actor** can crack a five-character password in under **three hours**? 😱 If you're only using lowercase letters, they can do it in just **11.9 seconds**! That's less time than it takes to brew a cup of coffee! ☕️ In today's digital world, strong passwords are more crucial than ever. Here are a few tips to keep your accounts secure: 1️⃣ **Go Long:** Aim for passwords that are at least 12-16 characters long. The longer, the better! 2️⃣ **Mix It Up:** Use a combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Complexity is key! 3️⃣ **Phrase It:** Consider using a passphrase—something memorable but hard to guess. For example, "MyDogLoves2Run!" is both strong and personal. 4️⃣ **Unique Is the Way:** Never reuse passwords across different accounts. Each one should be unique! 5️⃣ **Password Managers:** Consider using a password manager to help keep track of your complex passwords. They can generate strong passwords for you too! 🔑 Let's make our online world a safer place! Share this post to spread awareness and help your friends stay protected! 💪💻 #Security #PasswordSafety #CyberAwareness #StaySafeOnline #DigitalSecurity
About us
We install, support, and secure the Microsoft and Cloud technologies organizations use every day. Organizations reach out to us when they are concerned about the reliability of their technology (it keeps failing them at the worst times it seems), they are frustrated with the response time of getting those same darn issues fixed, they have doubts if their data really is backed up or secure, and they don't believe the money they are spending is helping give them a competitive edge (adding to the bottom-line, increasing productivity, etc.) For 30 years, Sundog has transformed organizations to finally leverage technology to be more successful.
