CYBER SENSE ALERT: Credential Stuffing
Hackers use bots to try your leaked passwords on every website. If you reuse passwords, they can break in.

Your 3-Step Defense Plan

USE A PASSWORD MANAGER

This is your #1 tool. It creates and stores a strong, unique password for every account. You only remember one master password.

TURN ON 2FA

Add a second step to logins (like a texted code). Even with your password, a hacker can't get in without this.

CHECK IF YOU'RE ALREADY PAWNED

Go to haveibeenpwned.com (a safe, free site). See if your email is in known data breaches. If it is, change those passwords NOW.

haveibeenpwned.com

A free, trusted site to check if your email has appeared in any known data breaches.

Bottom Line: One password for everything is a master key for criminals. Make every password unique.
