Guides: Cybersecurity Myths Debunked: Separating the facts from the fibs

Which pieces of security advice are actually worth following and which ones should you treat as outdated or misleading myths?

Does every password need to have numbers, special characters, and a mixture of upper and lower-case letters? No, this is a fib.

What you will learn

This guide will reveal the truth behind some of the biggest password and cybersecurity myths, including:

  • Do I need to change my password every 90 days?
  • Is it bad if I just write down all my passwords?
  • Can a hacker steal my biometrics from my phone?

It’s unlikely that a criminal will ever spend the time and resources to find out where you live, break into your home, and steal the notebook that contains your passwords. But there’s a problem with this method: most people tend to write down short passwords, or they reuse the same password for all of their accounts so it’s easier to find and type out.
