Information Security Awareness: Using Your Buffalo State E-mail as an Account Username

From haveibeenpwned: In February 2018, a massive collection of almost 3,000 alleged data breaches was found online. While some of the data had previously been seen in Have I Been Pwned, 2,844 of the files consisting of more than 80 million unique e-mail addresses had not previously been seen. Each file contained both an e-mail address and plain text password and were consequently loaded as a single "unverified" data breach. Eighty-five Buffalo State e-mail addresses are in this database of 80 million. Make sure you have a strong password on your Buffalo State account, and don't use that password for any other accounts.
