𝗖𝘆𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆: 𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗹𝘆! Since Keir Stormtwat decided to authorise Storm Shadow Missiles without considering the consequences, we all now have to be on our guard. It’s not just big companies being targeted—small and medium businesses are on the radar too. Hackers are getting smarter, using techniques like phishing emails, fake login pages, and malware to get into systems. The UK new outlets have all recently warned about serious threats from Russian hackers targeting businesses and infrastructure. So, what can you do to keep your business safe? 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐎𝐮𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐄𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐬 Hackers often send emails pretending to be someone you trust—like a supplier or even your boss! Always double-check the sender's email address and never click on links or download attachments unless you're sure they're legit. 𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 "123456" won’t cut it. Use long, unique passwords with a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. Better yet, get a password manager to keep track of them. 𝐄𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐓𝐰𝐨-𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝟐𝐅𝐀) This adds an extra layer of protection. Even if a hacker gets your password, they can’t get in without the second step—like a code sent to your phone. 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 Outdated systems are like unlocked doors. Regular updates patch vulnerabilities that hackers love to exploit. 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦 Your people are your first line of defence. Regularly train your team to spot suspicious activity and avoid common traps. 𝘙𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳, 𝘤𝘺𝘣𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘪𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘯 𝘐𝘛 𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘦—𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘢 𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘦. 𝘈 𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘪𝘨 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴.
