Breached Chegg Credentials
Description
In April 2018, many University of Regina email addresses appeared in a public password leak from the textbook rental service "Chegg" website www.chegg.com. This means that a previously created Chegg account used a Univeristy of Regina email address. The Chegg website has since been breached, and the account credentials (username/password) used on this site have been released publicly.
Resolution
-Choose a totally unique password for each account, website, or service.
-Choose passwords to include a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols.
-Make your password long - the longer the better.
-Set up Two-Factor Authentication for all accounts which support it.
