We know this because the country’s sprawling license plate-tracking surveillance system has been left #exposed to the internet.

#Security researcher Anurag Sen, who discovered the security lapse, found the license plate surveillance system exposed online without a #password , allowing anyone access to the data within. It’s not clear how long the system has been public

ESET will retire its Password Manager on Oct 18, 2027, with all stored data deleted after shutdown. 🔐

Users must export credentials and migrate early as renewals and activations face strict cutoffs. ⏳

Il progetto SUM Erasmus+, con Lepida al centro, dà il via a laboratori peer-to-peer per aiutare gli over 65 a combattere la #disinformazione, trasformando gli anziani in alleati digitali attivi. La guida per la #sicurezza WiFi domestica spiega con passaggi semplici come adottare: #password robuste, VPN sul router, protocolli moderni e reti ospiti per blindare casa da hacker e intrusi.

@zackwhittaker This is terrible. My dog isn’t very good with #cybersecurity and uses her owner’s name as her #password. I tried giving her a password wallet but she just buried it in the back yard.

RustGenPass is a small command line utility to generate passwords from a master password and the domain of a website. It’s a Rust implementation of the SuperGenPass utility.

With it you can have unique passwords for every website without the need to save them somewhere. Which means there is no risk of the passwords leaking.

Ugh. This is such a stupid #password dialog for #Dell #idrac.

If you have less than 8 characters, it tells you to use "at least 8". If you have 8 characters, it is happy. If you type 9 characters it tells you that you have too many characters.

You must have exactly 8. No more. No less.

I took the time to update https://packagist.org/packages/stella-maris/nist-password to the latest version of the NIST specs regarding passwords. It's now also tested on PHP8.1 through PHP8.5

If you are looking for a library to make sure your passwords are compliant to the latest security rules, this might be for you.

Feel free to open an issue when you're missing something.

Oh, yeah! #Plex got hacked!

They SAY passwords were hashed, but PLEASE #reset your plex #password and force a sign-out on ALL devices using their interface as follows:

When doing so, there's a checkbox to "Sign out connected devices after password change," which we recommend you enable.

Irritating...especially cos they don't say WHEN this happened!
