dang. I use a password manager, and all my important passwords are 30-40 chars long. Lesson learnt?
Passphrase and 2FA , better an physical token access, is the minimum in a company, apart a backup of all important data. These hackers are in need to be send a Guantanamo, but also the IT employees of this company, a weak password without 2FA and backups are also a crime in a company.
