InfoSec Tip: Keep Personal Separate From Work

by Dan Strom on July 17, 2009

Twitter hacked by old technique — again by AP: Yahoo! Tech

This article came out yesterday. The short description is that a compromised personal email account led to a compromise at Twitter.

Although the article is written with the focus on Twitter, this can just as easily happen to you and your organization.

Tip: Keep work email and data separate from personal email and data.

We need to constantly remind folks that there needs to be separation between work and personal email and storage. The selling point is that it protects both the employee and the company in the event the other is compromised.

Once again, the weakest link is The Human.
