Research demonstrates that attackers adapt. As computing architectures change, so too do the economics of password cracking. What matters is not simply whether passwords are hashed, but whether organizations are using modern algorithms, enforcing strong passw…

For several years the cybersecurity industry has assumed that throwing more graphics processing units (GPUs) at a password-cracking problem would dramatically accelerate results. New research from Sp… [+4695 chars]
