What can you do if your platform suffers from data leak?
1) Enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA) measures in the applications used.
2) Ensuring that corporate e-mail addresses are not used for registration to websites other than corporate or company applications.
3) Checking whether the accounts of the applications have been leaked through platforms such as “Have I Been Pwned”.
4) Updating the passwords used for each application to include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, special characters and to be at least 10 characters long and different from each other.
