Welcome solo and group practice owners! We are Liath Dalton and Evan Dumas, your co-hosts of Group Practice Tech.
In our latest episode, we discuss the recent LastPass password manager data breach and what impacted users can do.
We discuss the extent of the breach; options for LastPass users (changing all of your passwords, switching to a different service); being wary of phishing attacks after data breaches; security reminders; spotting social engineering attacks; creating strong passwords; changing default security settings; how to approach changing years’ worth of passwords; our recommendations for password managers; whether BAAs are necessary with password managers; and contingency planning.
