>Citrix said in a later update on April 4 that the attack was likely a result of password spraying, which attackers use to breach accounts by brute-forcing from a list of commonly used passwords that aren’t protected with two-factor authentication.

Wow. This simply reinforces the fact that humans cannot, and should not, be trusted with actively maintaining security of a system especially if there could be significant economic consequences.

Would a password manager help in this? I don't know.

Probably a hardware token which controls all and any access to a system.

*Removed some ambiguous sentences.
