HIPPO is a radical new password system that generates unique, strong passwords for every site—without ever storing them. Learn how HIPPO works, its security benefits, and the risks of this cryptographic approach.
Despite the hype around high-end AI GPUs, consumer graphics cards like the RTX 5090 still dominate password cracking speeds. The real cybersecurity threat? Weak and reused passwords, not brute-force attacks with expensive hardware.
ETH Zurich researchers have demonstrated that even top password managers can be breached if a malicious server is involved, undermining zero-knowledge security promises and exposing users' most sensitive credentials.
Attackers don't need AI to crack your passwords—they're using your organization's own words against you. Learn how custom wordlists built from public-facing content defeat complexity rules, and what you can do to stop them.

Passwords reveal more than they protect. Uncover how human nature, shortcuts, and analog habits like post-it notes create vulnerabilities in cybersecurity—and why real protection starts with understanding ourselves.
LastPass, trusted by millions for password security, suffered a major breach in 2022 that exposed the data of 1.6 million UK users. The UK's ICO has now fined the company £1.2 million, highlighting how human error and overlooked vulnerabilities can undermine even the strongest technical safeguards.
