Did you know most people have admitted to sharing a password with a colleague, close friend, or family member so they can provide access to documents, subscriptions, or streaming services? But what might seem like an innocent act of kindness can put your sensitive data at risk. Information Security notes that no matter how well you trust someone, they can unintentionally compromise your account should they fall victim to a scam or have malware on their device. This can have a snowball effect, especially if you use the same password across other accounts. Bonus security tip: it is best to avoid reusing passwords across accounts.
