Millions of Groupon users are at risk of losing thousands of pounds after a massive hack - comments
December 2016 by Richard Meeus, VP technology EMEA at NSFOCUS
The news has broken that millions of Brits have had hundreds siphoned from their
bank account after fraudsters hijacked their Groupon accounts.
Below is a short soundbite from Richard Meeus, VP technology EMEA at NSFOCUS.
"With the massive data breaches announced last week by Yahoo! - remember it was 1
billion accounts - it has never been more important to use different passwords on
every site and use 2FA (2 factor authentication) where possible.
"Using the same username and password on every site should not be happening anymore.
We need to change user apathy towards passwords, and maybe also get website owners
to be more proactive in supporting their customers by checking their user databases
against the lists of breached accounts"
