?? What's on my mind
Some system administrators are getting sloppy. And that's a recipe for disaster.
Despite all the good practices that Microsoft preaches, global admins still turn off multi-factor authentication on their accounts. Why? For me, this is a big mystery.
And what can happen? I have heard of a case where the damage caused by hijacked Azure infrastructure and the resources consumed went into the hundreds of thousands of euros.
MFA prevents 99.9 % of intrusions. Such simple protection, but totally under-appreciated.
What is your take on MFA? Maybe I'm not just missing something and I don't get why someone would turn it off. Do you know any valid reason to do so? Comment below.
Have a really great day. Matic Z.
[FEATURED STORY] Protecting yourself and your data with this simple feature
Multi-factor authentication is a step towards protecting your identity, saving you from virtually 99.9% of identity theft problems.
I know, sometimes it's annoying to type in a one-time password or press the allow notification on your phone. But trust me, if a company has forced two-factor authentication on you, they've done it to protect the company and all its employees. Identity theft can have quite unpredictable consequences - it can bankrupt a company, put employees out of work, etc.
So don't whine. Use that damn MFA.
