Password Spraying, an increasingly sophisticated cyberattack relying on weak passwords in order to gain unauthorized entry to multiple accounts without consent, consists of using either one password across several accounts or a list that often features on multiple sites to bypass common security measures like account lockouts.

These attacks are successful because they utilize numerous passwords at once, while simultaneously targeting people as the weakest link of cybersecurity and how they manage passwords. This article will define password spraying, describe its differences from other brute force attacks, and examine ways to stop it. We'll also examine real-life cases to show how businesses ...

Electronic devices are indispensable in our technology-driven society, but what happens to old gadgets when they become outdated and no longer can be upgraded? Over time they tend to accumulate, taking up valuable storage space; you cannot simply throw them out as improper disposal can pose serious environmental hazards.

Electronic waste (e-waste) refers to electronic devices no longer in use or desired by their original owners, including such things as:

Discover a better future through computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets, printers, cameras and TVs.

E-waste contains potentially toxic materials like lead, mercury, Cadmium and brominated Flame Retardants - materials which if improperly dispo...

Cybersecurity has become an integral component of most businesses today. Network security should be taken seriously by any entity no matter its size; cyberattacks may have long-term effects and should always be treated seriously.

Cyberattacks have grown increasingly sophisticated and sophisticated since 2022; IoT-based malware attacks saw an impressive 87% increase, as artificial intelligence-powered attacks increase exponentially.

Moving away from a reactive cybersecurity approach and adopting proactive measures such as "Secure by Design" are crucial.

International partners have taken steps to address vulnerabilities that are commonly exploited, and recently issued an advisory outlining Secur...

The Dark Web is an important hub of illicit activities. Even legitimate businesses cannot ignore its presence entirely. In this article we'll outline its details, and show why monitoring its millions of pages could prove advantageous.

In the mid-1990s, the US government established the Dark Web to allow spies and other intelligence agencies to exchange information freely.

The Dark Web is an online space where illegal activities take place, such as counterfeit money trading and child pornography. Users may also access counterfeit ...

Imagine working on your computer when suddenly an alert from Windows Update pops up. Instead of dismissing it outright, however, you take action by installing what seems to be an official update - only to discover later that installing it infected your device with ransomware!

Herein lies the horror of cyber threats.

Cybercriminals are constantly devising new means of infiltrating systems. Cybercriminals encrypt data and leave victims no choice but to pay a ransom fee in order to decrypt it. Once ransomware has infected your system, there's nothing you can do other than pay or hire someone to remove malware (or install backup copies if possible).

"Big Head" ransomware is one of the latest ransom...
