Our CEO Tom McAndrew shares a 4th of July PSA regarding the #RockYou2024 password leak.
CEO Coalfire - Cybersecurity, Offensive Security, Cloud, Advisory, Auditing, Compliance, Penetration Testing
Being the CEO of Coalfire, I get lots of advice, but today my 12 year old twins came up with this idea for a PSA and video. They read about the recent password breach and scripted and shot this video, and thought it looked "cool" in my motorcycle leathers (where I thought it was a bad idea since it was 93 degrees outside and I was dripping with sweat, but you be the judge!). It was a great moment to be a dad, share my work, and get a good message out which might improve the worlds cybersecurity just a tiny bit. In a world where we are asked to chose between spending time with family, work, or personal time, its great when it all comes together and you don't need to compromise. Enjoy their public service announcement: The 4th of July brought more than just fireworks and BBQs, a hacker uploaded a file called ROCKYOU2024 which added more than 1.5B newly hacked passwords for hackers to use. What you should do? 1. Use Mutli-Factor Authenication (MFA) where ever you can. This is easiest and most effective. You may need to enable this "feature" in settings on apps and websites. 2. Use a password manager. They are getting more sophisticated and can help identify stolen passwords (and you need to move on from that piece of paper hidden in your desk, or that file you keep on your phone with all your passwords. 3. Don't reuse passwords. Otherwise someone stealing a password that gives them access to a useless site could also accidentally give them access to something more sensitive. 4. Change your passwords often. This is the least effective thing to do, but still a good practice. (Fun fact: it was fun shooting this watching me screw up a few takes, my kids laugh at me, but then at the end say "I didn't realize it was so hard to make a video." Mostly because we were trying to find 30 second windows where we could shoot without a motorcycle screaming down the straightaway.) 😂 Thanks to the amazing team at OPRT, the only non-profit motorcycle safety company focused on helping people learn on tracks, not parking lots. #mykidstellmewhattodo #4thofJuly #cybersecurity, #rockyou2024 #dad #fatherhood #passwords #breaches #pentesting #hackers

What an amazing week in #WashingonDC. It was incredible to see so many leaders from the government, military, and commercial sectors come together to discuss secure cloud, FedRAMP, and cybersecurity policy. It was the best #RAMPCON event that #Coalfire has ever hosted!!!
