Excerpts:

It added, “expert hackers may still be able to track down sensitive data through just an email address. LinkedIn users could also be on the receiving end of email or telephone scams that trick them into sharing sensitive credentials or transferring large amounts of money.”

Then there are brute-force attacks to be concerned about: “Using email addresses provided in the records, hackers may attempt to access users’ accounts using various combinations of common password characters,” researchers warned.

“It is not uncommon to see such data sets being used to send personalized phishing emails, extort ransom or earn money on the Dark Web – especially now that many hackers target job seekers on LinkedIn with bogus job offers, infecting them with a backdoor trojan,” Candid Wuest, Acronis vice president of cyber-protection research, said via email at the time of the first data-scraping incident. “For example, such personalized phishing attacks with LinkedIn lures were used by the Golden Chickens group.”

Excerpts:

Token-free, password-free user authentication

We know you’ve dreamt about shredding your list of passwords. Go on and do it.

Because you are starting the authentication process in the device’s hardware, the user doesn’t have to interact with it. All users see is their usual Windows log-in screen – no more additional passwords to access the VPN or other resources. They just sign in once, and the secure credentials in their TPMs securely and quickly connect them to everything they need. Say goodbye to user frustration and slow OS performance.


Key Features:

Strong Security
• Authenticate securely, encrypt email, and prove integrity of the device with one management console
• Protect against phishing, malware and other network security threats by storing authentication credentials in hardware
• Provide centralized enforcement of custom policies
==================================================================
If LinkedIn (Microsoft company) users turned on their TPMs and used Wave VSC 2.0, the attacks of phishing, brute forced, and common passwords wouldn't be a problem. Not only would LinkedIn users be protected for organizations using Wave VSC 2.0, but they also would have all their TPMs enabled which is required for Windows 11!!!

Go with Wave, the leader in Trusted Computing!!!
