Today's Cyber Tip: Power up your password strength! Cyber attackers love weak passwords! Protect yourself and your company with these 7 Samurai of password good practices:

1. Change your password regularly
2. Make passwords hard to guess - leave out personal information and easy to guess words
3. Don't share your password - don't provide it in emails, and don't enter your password on suspicious websites
4. Consider using passphrases instead of passwords - a string of words that is hard for others to guess, but easy for you to remember
5. Longer is stronger - passwords should be a minimum of 12 characters (where the system allows it)
6. Don't recycle passwords - choose different passwords especially for online accounts
7. Use a different password for each app and website
