2026 is a bad year to have a weak password: Data breaches on the rise
Phishing still works. And automation and AI are making it easier and more scalable for hackers to use stolen data for fraud.
The real risk after a breach? Credential stuffing. Attackers take your leaked password and automatically try it on your bank, your email, your Amazon, your Apple ID. Automated, at scale, within hours.
I built a free toolkit with a step-by-step approach to make this nearly impossible:
→ Check if your data was leaked (via HaveIBeenPwned, IntelX and IntelBase)
→ Fix your password management — the 4 pillars
→ Secure your accounts in the right order (banking first)
→ Set up alerts and plus-addressing to trace future leaks instantly
This toolkit was written for the Odido / T-Mobile NL breach, but the steps apply to any data breach.
This is exactly what OPSEC is about — and why we have a full free course on it in this community. If you haven't started OPSEC 101 yet, this is your wake-up call.
One reused password can be all it takes. Start today.
