Another hacker attack

By Dave-C - CEO | October 19, 2007

I seem to be writing more and more about hackers getting into sites, and just today I got this from one of our UK suppliers …

We are writing to inform you that we have recently discovered evidence of a network intrusion involving a ###### server. We have reason to believe that the intruder has gained access to our internal systems, and that this may have in turn given them access to your username and some service passwords.

I’ve said it before but I’ll repeat it now - Your site is only as safe as the password you use. Make it cryptic, and don’t use it in more than one place. Also, change it regularly - Set up a reminder in Outlook or similar to nag you on a regular basis.

Stay safe out there! :)
