Tunji Andrews hacked - lessons in password management



Popular Nigerian twitter personality, Tunji Andrews (@TunjiAndrews), the man behind the #MoneyMasterClass has admitted to having been 'hacked'.

Andrews has admitted to having been 'careless' in his password management - using one password for several different platforms, thus inadvertently giving the hackers access to all of his personal and professional online correspondence.

Lessons to be learned from the unfortunate event:

1) Use strong passwords - a mixture of letters, numbers, symbols, upper and lowercase.

2) Use unique passwords - do no use the same password across several platforms
