MP Cyber Attack Further Proof That Weak Passwords Are The Biggest Threat To Data Security

Leading Identity and Access Management specialists My1Login says that weak passwords and poor ID management are likely to have contributed to the MP email cyber attack at the weekend.
Parliament was hit by a “sustained and determined” cyber-attack last Friday, with hackers attempting to gain access to MPs’ and their staffers’ email accounts. Both houses of parliament were targeted in an attack that sought to gain access to accounts protected by weak passwords.
My1Login CEO, Mike Newman, comments: “The full facts are still to come out, but this was a determined attack to exploit weak passwords. Most passwords are very easy to break by hackers as there is a commonality to them world-wide. Moreover, people don’t take enough precautions to safeguard their passwords; they write them down; save them to their computer or make them extremely weak so they are easy to remember. This has to change.”
He added: “In my opinion, the only way to safeguard data, especially when it comes to matters of national security, is to eliminate end-users having to manage passwords altogether. Our Single Sign-On technology removes the need for end-users to manage or even know passwords, protecting against weak password use and ensuring data is kept secure”.
My1Login has recently been cited as a global leader in Identity Management by CB Insights, the highly respected analyst and technology sector research group,. The company was also recently approved for the G-Cloud 9 digital framework to supply cloud services to the UK public sector.
Over 1,000 companies currently rely My1Login’s solution which eliminates cyber security vulnerabilities by removing the need for employees to manage multiple passwords. It provides next generation Identity and Access Management solutions for enterprise and eliminates the need for passwords in business by providing Single Sign-On that works with all applications, across all devices. The service works with cloud, mobile and thick-client legacy applications, which enables them to fully address Single Sign-On challenges even in the most complex of enterprise environments where apps are often a mix of cloud, mobile and legacy systems such as mainframes.
