You as a network user may not know it, but you are the more so the gate keeper to your companies network than the administrator is.
Here’s how easy it is to hack a network.

“Hi, I calling from Acme computers, you have a virus on your computer”
“oh no! What do I do!”
“Give me you username and confirm your password so I can remotely connect to your mailbox, this way I can confirm if you are sending more virus’ out to other users”
“Sure ##### ####.”
“I’ll look into this and get back to you”
It’s that easy. People generally give out their wifi passwords too easily as well, once a hacker has someone’s network password and your wifi, they don’t even need to get into your building to access your network.
Changing your password atleast once a month can prevent these issues from becoming a major problem, hackers will post this information for others to use for themselves.
It’s just that easy!
