Day 1 - Create Strong, Unique Passwords ✨
“Same passwords everywhere? That’s an attackers’ buffet 👀”
Your password is your first line of defence, so don’t make it easy to guess. Use at least 16 characters, avoid personal or predictable information, and most importantly, never reuse the same password across different accounts.
Think of it this way: if you use the same password for your email, social media, and work accounts, if an account is compromised, it’s like you have handed over the keys to your digital life. Instead, create a unique password (or a passphrase) for each account and use a password manager if keeping track becomes difficult.
Quick tip: A random phrase like “PurpleBananasDanceAtMidnight-!” is stronger than “P@ssw0rd!”

@CybarikGlobal #CybersecurityDiet
Throughout the month of October, I will be engaging in a 31 days Cybersecurity Diet as part of my contribution to the conversations regarding Cybersecurity Awareness.
Each day, I will post a basic Cybersecurity topic, share few tips and ask a question. I want to encourage everyone doing Cybersecurity to join me by using the Cybersecurity diet to also educate people about basic Cybersecurity awareness. Let’s continue to spread the word and support the ecosystem to reduce Cybersecurity breaches 💪
