Just read that 60% of small businesses fold within 6 months after a data breach

I was looking at a report from the National Cyber Security Alliance yesterday. That stat hit me hard, man. I run a small roofing crew and we keep client info, addresses, payment stuff. It's not just about losing files, it's the cost and the trust. Makes you realize a simple password or a missed update isn't just an IT thing. How do other small outfits even start to protect against that without a huge budget?

That 60% stat made me rethink my old password habits.

rowank69, my password was "password123" so I'm part of the problem.

My buddy Mike used "football" for EVERYTHING until his email got hacked. The hacker sent his boss a really rude message asking for a raise. Total nightmare, now he uses a password manager.
