Weak email passwords increasingly being compromised.

  • May 18, 2017 by Jae Botha

Dear Clients

We hope this email finds all of you well.

Due to the increase of email accounts being compromised due to weak passwords, we urge that all Clients ensure to regularly update their passwords to an acceptable secure password.

If an email account should get compromised due to an insecure password, the account will immediately be suspended and a hefty fine will be charged on the owners account.

Kindest Regards,
The eDisc Web Team
