Password resets are one of the easiest ways for attackers to bypass security controls. Specops Software shows how helpdesk social engineering turns a seemingly legitimate reset request into full account compromise. [...]

A $30,000 AI GPU doesn't outperform consumer GPUs at password cracking. Specops explains why attackers don't need exotic hardware to break weak passwords. [...]

Passing MFA doesn't mean a session is safe, attackers can hijack tokens and bypass identity checks. Specops Software explains why Zero Trust must verify both user identity and device health. [...]
