Wow, just wow.
Just watched a KnowBe4 webinar on computer security in this work from home environment. Holy cow buckets. They showed hacking wireless networks, using malware to get into computers, then getting passwords to exchange to send malware that comes for someone else at your company. Then they get ssh access to your computer and not only control your computer but disable end point protection for tasks they want to run.
Note: Don't save any passwords in Chrome or any other browser! (i don't evem save autofill information in mine). The biggest tip is do not use stupid passwords! And have WP2 encryption on your wifi router with your own admin passwords, no extermal configuration.
They say the biggest problem to people working from home is that their home wifi router is set on defaults which allows external config with default admin login/passwords. They can install in a vpn tunnel to log your traffic and get into your company vpn and you don't even know it.
Best passwords are complete sentences with caps, spaces, and punctuation that are long to keep password hacking apps from de-hashing them. Or use password software. Having to make a new password all the time makes user create easy to hack passwords.
