Smishing 2.0 – How Hackers Are Weaponizing Text Messages to Steal Your Data
Smishing Attacks Are Getting Smarter – Are You Protected?

The Alarming Rise in Data Breaches: What 2024 Taught Us About Authentication
Data Breaches Are Exploding – Is Your Authentication Strong Enough?
🚨 Data breaches skyrocketed 490% in early 2024, exposing millions of records from major companies like Ticketmaster, 23andMe, and Snowflake. Yet, many organizations still rely on outdated authentication methods that hackers exploit with ease.
🔑 The biggest lesson? Passwords alone are no longer enough. AI-driven attacks, credential stuffing, and social engineering tactics are evolving faster than security teams can keep up. Companies that fail to upgrade their authentication strategies are leaving the door wide open for cybercriminals.
