At cdmon, we have an internal Firewall and other security systems in place to prevent security issues within our network. However, you should keep in mind that if someone other than you obtains your password, they will be able to directly access the corresponding service. That is why it is very important to use a secure password.
We recommend using secure passwords for your cdmon account and for all your cdmon services and products (email, web administrator, FTP, etc.).
Below you will find some recommendations for creating a reliable and secure password.
It must contain at least 8 characters. The longer it is, the better. It must include at least one lowercase letter, one uppercase letter, and one special character.
It should be made up of a series of letters/words or a phrase, not just a single word.
It must not contain repetitions (aaa), sequences of letters or numbers (123, abc), or adjacent keyboard letters (asdfgh).
It must not contain personal information (name/surname, important dates, etc.), as these are easy to guess.
It should not be a simple word with special characters added at the beginning or end.
It should be easy to remember. We recommend using well-known "passphrases" (example: MeGustaMuchoIrAlParque!).
It is VERY IMPORTANT to have a secure password for your services.
Currently, there are so-called "password dictionaries" that store thousands and thousands of different passwords. Attackers use these dictionaries to perform "brute force" requests against servers. In other words, using a configured robot, they try all these passwords until one matches and they gain access. That is why it is important to create a complex password that is difficult to guess.
The latest known password dictionary is called RockYou2021. It appears to be a compilation of passwords obtained from other leaks and security breaches, containing up to 8.4 billion different passwords.
Proper secure password management is just as important, since if passwords are not handled correctly, they can be easily obtained.
Proper use and management of passwords is essential to ensure the long-term security of your data:
Use a different password for each service, platform, or online portal you use.
Do not share your password with third parties.
Change your password if you suspect misuse.
