Keller Williams is committed to protecting the digital
privacy and security of our associates and the clients we serve.
As soon as the KW Technology Team learned about the
potentially disruptive Heartbleed bug, we tested our systems for
vulnerabilities. We are pleased to report that our systems have not been
compromised. We also reached out to our technology partners to determine if
they had been affected. Again, we are pleased to share that the security of our
associates and clients does not appear to have been breached.
Below are responses from the major technology providers who
help power the KW productivity tools you rely on every day, from the KW mobile
app to our lead-to-close transaction system, eEdge.
While your primary work tools appear safe, we encourage you
to take safeguards with other websites, services or apps that you use.
Password Safety
Here are a few tips to ensure that your password keeps your
protected:
Always create a strong password. A strong password is one
that is at least eight characters long, is significantly different from your
previous passwords, and contains a combination of uppercase letters, lowercase
letters, numbers, and special characters (such as !, @, # or $)
Avoid reusing the same password for multiple accounts
Update your password on a regular basis. You should change
your passwords at least every 90 days
Do not share your password with anyone. If you must write it
down to remember it, keep it in a safe and secure location where others cannot
access it
