I Got Hacked and Now There’s a Password
admin🔐 Tech Tip: “I Got Hacked and Now There’s a Password…”
Recently, a client called and said:
“I got hacked, and now there’s a password where there wasn’t one. Can you fix this?”
Of course — I could, and I did.
But here’s the important part: this could have been completely avoided by having a password in place from the beginning.
When an account has no password, attackers don’t need to “break in” — they simply walk in and lock you out by setting one themselves.
What a password would have prevented:
- Unauthorized access
- Account takeover
- Downtime and emergency repair costs
- Stress and potential data loss
The takeaway:
A password isn’t optional — it’s your first line of defense.
Add a strong password. Enable MFA. Protect your access before someone else does.
Don’t try to be a nerd by yourself… Call us.
