Mac is not spelled S-A-F-E

Newsflash! Contrary to popular belief, if you have a Mac, you are not invulnerable to viruses and unauthorized intrusions. How shocking is that? Fact is, “Mac attacks” are happening at an increasing level of frequency, as hackers become more sophisticated and the Mac’s popularity among business users grows. (A recent survey revealed that 96 percent of enterprises now support the Mac.) Incredibly, one report found that attacks on OS X increased by 3,600 percent between 2010 and 2014. Even ransomware has joined the fray, with malware known as “KeRanger” invading the Mac world in 2016.

Apr 23, 2020  Part 1: How to Hack an iPhone remotely via Neatspy. Neatspy is one of the best iPhone hacking software in the market that has already won the support of millions of users around the world. Neatspy is completely legit, and it gives you access to a number of strong features such as the ability to track the target’s location, social media account, intercept calls, etc. Apr 28, 2020  If your router supports personal VPN service at the router level, this is the best way to implement a personal VPN. It allows you to encrypt all traffic entering and leaving your network without the hassle of setting up VPN client software on your computers. Using a personal VPN service at the router level also takes the encryption process burden off of your client PCs and other devices.

There are also operating system agnostic web browser attackers, like “cross-site scripting” (XSS) and “man-in-the-browser” (MiTB). Culprits using these tools completely bypass OS X security and gain access through websites and browsers. Since so much of the work we do today is conducted through web-enabled and browser-based applications, browser attacks pose a particularly serious problem. But the take-home lesson is this: Running Mac does not exempt you from security threats. In fact, it’s getting downright scary out there.

BYOD

BYOD, or “bring your own device,” poses another significant risk. Even if you’re a Windows shop, your system can still be affected by malware written for Mac’s little brother, iOS. More and more business users are logging into corporate networks from their iPhones and iPads, so intrusions through these devices are becoming increasingly common. In late 2015, malware dubbed “XcodeGhost” was discovered on more than 50 apps available through the Apple app store. While predominantly found in China and Asia Pacific, XcodeGhost made its way into a number of domestic apps, as well. Like most other malware, XcodeGhost allows for the decryption of password information and other malicious intrusions into the victim’s system.

Macs in the Enterprise

Macs used in the enterprise are not immune, either. The new High-Sierra OS was not a day past general availability when a former NSA analyst tweeted the news of a major vulnerability. While it only took Apple about two weeks to fix it, the so-called “Keychain bug” proved that there is no system that is 100 percent secure.

Next Gen. Protection from SentinelOne

For enterprises that are heavy Mac users, a Next Gen. solution such as SentinelOne is optimal. SentinelOne offers an extremely effective protection for Mac in particular and has supported Mac High-Sierra since pre-release. Also, if ransomware bypasses SentinelOne’s agent and successfully breaches your environment you will be reimbursed up to $1 million ($1,000 per endpoint) to pay the ransom, making SentinelOne the only Next Gen. vendor to provide a financial guarantee for their product.

Conclusion

The Mac world, like the Windows and Linux worlds, is fraught with risk. The more popular Mac becomes in business, the more this risk increases as bad actors will put additional resources and effort into trying to crack its OS. As a Mac shop, your number one enemy is complacency. Secure your environment the best you can and do not allow yourself to be added to the list of companies that over the past year have made headlines for the wrong reasons.

Passwords are to a hacker like your house keys are to a thief. Think of your passwords as your digital keys. They open the door to your personal digital life, including your networks of friends and colleagues, contacts, photos, videos, emails, and even banking and payment details. This is why you should use strong passwords that can’t be easily hacked instead of weak passwords.

Norton Antivirus Plus features Password Manager*, making it easy to create, store, and manage your passwords and other credentials.

Securely stores and remembers all your usernames, passwords and more so you don’t have to.

*Norton Password Manager is not exclusively available in this plan and may be available online for free.

Hackers easily crack weak passwords

Examples of weak passwords are those that feature common words, include your well-known personal information, or are less than eight characters long. Hackers don’t need to expend much effort to crack these types of passwords. Instead, they can use these three techniques to hack your passwords:

• Dictionary attacks. This type of attack relies on programs that cycle through a predetermined list of common words or phrases often used in passwords. To protect your accounts from dictionary attacks, avoid using common words and phrases in your passwords.
• Social media information. Our social media accounts are gold mines of information. Posting photos of your new puppy, Buddy, or displaying the name of your high school may sound harmless. But cybercriminals can use the information you provide to access your accounts. “What is the name of your pet?” and “Which high school did you go to?” are standard security questions your account’s system may ask as part of a password verification process whether it’s you answering or a hacker.
• Password crackers. Programs called password crackers use brute force to break a password by repeatedly trying millions of combinations of characters until the password is cracked. Shorter and less complex passwords are quicker to guess for these types of programs.

7 simple steps to create a hack-proof password

Creating a hack-proof password can be simple once you follow these easy steps to make your passwords strong and complex:

1. Never use phone numbers, addresses, birthdays, your SSN, your name, family members’ names, or pets’ names in your password.
2. Select a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols for your passwords.
3. Never use common passwords like “123456,” “password,” or “qwerty.”
4. Make sure your passwords are at least eight characters long. Passwords with more characters and symbols are more difficult to guess.
5. Don’t use common words or phrases in your passwords. If you want to use them, alter the word or abbreviate the phrase. For example, if you want to use the word “eleven” you can convert it to “e13v3N.” Or if you want to use the phrase “I love to shop” you can change it to “1luv2sh0p.” Make it even stronger by adding symbols and punctuation: “#1Luv2sh0p!”
6. Opt for two-factor authentication (2FA) or multi-factor authentication whenever offered to add an extra layer of protection to your accounts. For example, in addition to logging in with a username and password, you’ll use an additional code received via text to complete your account login.
7. Use password management systems, like Norton Identity Safe Password Manager and Generator, to help you create and remember complex passwords.

More ways to protect your password

Now that you have complex passwords, take these easy precautions to further protect them and your accounts.

• Don’t use the same password across different websites.
• Never share your passwords with anyone.
• Change your passwords regularly. Every three months is a good rule of thumb.
