Hi All

As many as 34 Russian-speaking gangs distributing information-stealing malware under the stealer-as-a-service model stole no fewer than 50 million passwords in the first seven months of 2022

I can't think of any better reason to have unique, distinct passwords for each resource... especially if any of those password hauls came from companies that a) haven't yet figured out they were compromised, or b) drag their feet on their public response to the breach.

Amen, ditto, agreed.

Also, a good reason to have MFA on those resources that are valuable to you and others.
