Narrator: While going through Cindy's and Chris' emails, Dan begins receiving hundreds of alerts from his monitoring tools. Dan notices that there are hundreds of failed login attempts across the organization. Dan recognizes that this may be a sign of a potential problem and gets ready to jump on the defence.
Dan recalls his cyber security awareness training, where he learned that hackers could use breached passwords purchased from the Dark Web to log in to other accounts. Worried about what could happen, Dan decides to send a company wide email alerting his co-workers of the attempted cyber attacks and reminding them about proper password hygiene. Dan recommends in the email that all his coworkers change their passwords immediately and reminds them not to use the same password from multiple accounts. He also encourages his co-workers to ensure their password is complex, using letters, numbers and symbols, and that the password is a decent length. Finally, he reminds everyone to strengthen their account security with multi-factor authentication.
After sharing his advice with his coworkers. Dan transforms into a cyber security defender. He is prepared to take on any challenges that are thrown his way and is committed to learn more about cyber security awareness and spreading his knowledge.
Anon: Ahhh... One of these passwords better work Phish. I want to get my hands on the information inside this organization. Wait... the screen is flashing green. YAHOO!!! I did it! One of the passwords finally worked. Time to get into the network... What the? NO!
These employees are too tricky! This one as MFA set up so I can't get into the account.
You know, Phish, this was the final straw… Not plastic, of course, I know you hate those. I will get into the network if it's the last thing I do. Time to plot my final attack...
