ADT Security Is Mostly Optional

The irony of a security giant like ADT falling victim to a basic phishing and SSO attack would be amusing if it weren't so depressingly predictable for those of us in the trenches. ShinyHunters walked away with a mountain of names and phone numbers, leaving 5.5 million customers to wonder why they bothered paying for professional protection in the first place. To survive this corporate lapse, we’re left monitoring our own credentials and treating every incoming message as a potential threat. It’s just another Tuesday where the people hired to watch the gate left it swinging wide open.
