It's a good time of year to reset those passwords.
Another friendly PSA to update those passwords, especially if you use the same ones across multiple accounts. Another breach has occurred, and it looks like attackers are using known login information used across multiple websites to get your data. This means an innocent little login on a long forgotten website might give bad actors access to more important things like your PayPal account., 34,942 PayPal users have been affected by this latest credential stuffing attack on its systems.
Many websites won't have the kind of security that, say, your bank or PayPal will employ to protect your personal details. It makes sense: most people don't store their valuables in a plastic safe, but you also wouldn't put the PIN to your real safe inside one. If you're using the same password, especially if combined with the same login across multiple sites, it just makes things that much easier for the bad guys.
