What Happened?

The cybersecurity incident occurred when an unauthorized party gained access to their computer network between June 26, 2024, and June 30, 2024.

   2. Use a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters
   3. Consider using a password manager for better security
      
      
5. Enable two-factor authentication where possible
