Commenting on reports that DreamHost, the US West Coast-based hosting provider, has reset all of its many users passwords in the wake of a hacker incursion into its systems, Avecto says the hack could probably have been prevented through the effective management of end user privileges.
According to Paul Kenyon, Chief Operating Officer with the Windows privilege management specialist, by controlling exactly who has access to specific applications on the hosting provider's servers, the company would have helped prevent hackers from even starting to compromise the member's credentials as they appear to have done.
