Miles de millones de credenciales robadas: cómo mantener sus cuentas seguras

Recent reports from Cybernews reveal that cybercriminals have access to over 16 billion stolen login credentials—many of which are still active and usable for account takeovers, identity theft, and targeted phishing attacks. Even if you use strong passwords, your information could be compromised in one of these massive data leaks.

At Patriot Federal Credit Union, your security is a top priority. Here’s how you can help protect yourself from cyber threats:

Reset Your Passwords Regularly
• Update passwords for all accounts, especially those you use often or that may have been exposed.
• Use unique, complex passwords for each account—avoid repeats.

Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
• 2FA adds a second layer of protection beyond your password.
• Turn it on for all accounts that offer it, including email, banking, and social media.

Stay Alert to Phishing Attempts
• Be wary of emails, texts, or messages asking for personal information.
• Don’t click on suspicious links or open unexpected attachments.

Remember:

With billions of credentials exposed online, a password alone isn’t enough. Reset your passwords and enable 2FA to keep your information safe.

Your vigilance is our best defense. Stay safe online!
