    Outsourced IT provider here:

    90% of businesses have basically zero IT security. Leaked passwords in regular use and no process or verification for password resets. As soon as someone complains that 2FA or password rotation is difficult it gets dropped. Virtually all company data is stored on USB keys, plaintext hard drives and on staff’s personal home devices.

    The reason they’re not constantly having their data stolen is because no-one cares about the companies either.

      Isn’t password rotation a horrible practice because it makes people use passwords like “MyNewPassword15” since it’s the 15th password reset they’ve been forced to do?
