🐧 Angry Penguin’s Wednesday Cyber Tip #12

🔐 Review User Accounts Regularly

The problem:

Do you know exactly who has access to your business systems right now?

Former employees, old contractors, unused accounts, and people who have changed roles can sometimes keep access long after they need it.

It's easy to overlook, especially when you're busy running a business.

What to do:

👥 Review your user accounts — Check who has access to your email, files, cloud applications, and other important systems.

🚪 Remove access when people leave — Make sure former employees and contractors no longer have access they don't need.

🔑 Check permissions — Make sure current employees only have the access required for their roles.

🔄 Make it a habit — Review accounts regularly and whenever someone changes roles or leaves the business.

Why it matters:

Every unnecessary account is another potential way into your business. Removing access that is no longer needed helps protect your information and reduces the risk of unauthorized access.

You wouldn't leave a former employee with a key to your office. The same principle applies to your digital business.

🔐 Know who's got the keys before someone uses them.

📋 Document the Basics

Ever had someone ask, “How do I do that again?”

Or needed to contact a supplier but couldn't remember who to call?

Or discovered that the one person who knows how everything works is on holiday? 😬

We've all been there!

What to do:

🖥️ List your key systems — Know what your business relies on every day.

📞 Keep support contacts handy — Know who to call when something stops working.

📅 Track renewal dates — Avoid surprises when software, domains, or services need renewing.

📝 Write down simple how-to steps — Help your team handle common tasks without starting from scratch every time.

🔐 Store information securely — Keep sensitive details and passwords in approved, secure systems rather than an ordinary document.

Why it matters:

When important information is documented, your business doesn't have to rely on one person's memory. It makes training easier, reduces frustration, and helps things keep running when someone is away.

You don't need a complicated manual. Start with one page and build from there.

🐧 A little documentation today can save a lot of head-scratching tomorrow.

⬇️ Don't Download Everything

The problem:
You need a program to open a file, edit a PDF, convert an image, or get a job done.

So you search Google, find a “free” download, and click Download.

Simple, right?

Not always. 😬

What to do:

🌐 Download software from the official website or a trusted app store.
🔍 Be careful with unfamiliar download sites and pop-ups.
👥 Check with your IT provider before installing software on a business computer.
🔐 Make sure new applications are approved and kept up to date.

And remember: free doesn't always mean safe.

Why it matters:
Some software downloads can include malware, unwanted programs, browser extensions, or other things you didn't ask for.

That “free” application could end up costing your business much more than you expected.

Before you click Download, ask yourself:

“Do I know where this came from?”

If the answer is no, don't install it. 🔐

💾 Be Careful With USB Drives

You find a USB drive in the parking lot.

It looks harmless.

You might think:

“I wonder what's on it?” 👀

That's exactly the problem.

What to do:

🚫 Don't plug an unknown USB drive into your computer.
🔍 Don't assume it is safe because it looks legitimate.
👤 If someone gives you a USB drive for work, make sure you know where it came from.
🛡️ If you need to use an unfamiliar device, check with your IT provider first.

Why it matters:

A USB drive can contain malicious software designed to steal information, damage files, or give someone access to your computer.

That little piece of plastic might be worth almost nothing.

The information on your computer could be worth a lot.

So if you find a random USB drive, resist the temptation to find out what's on it.

🐧 Curiosity is great. Plugging in mystery USB drives? Not so much.

🪂 If at first you don't succeed…

Skydiving is not for you! 😂

Some things in life are worth trying again.

Skydiving probably isn't one of them. 🤣

It's Friday! Time to wrap up the week, step away from the computer, and enjoy the weekend.

Have a great weekend from all of us at Angry Penguin Solutions! 🐧

Great advice.

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month! Throughout October, we’ll be sharing tips to help you stay safe online.

This week, we’re focusing on protecting yourself from imposter websites, also known as domain spoofing.

These fraudulent websites are designed to look like legitimate banking, shopping & login pages, making it easier for scammers to steal personal information, passwords & financial details.

Before entering sensitive information online, keep these tips in mind:
🔵 Carefully check the website address for misspellings, unusual characters or slight variations of a legitimate domain name.
🔵 Look for websites that use "https://" when transmitting sensitive information. While encryption alone does not guarantee a site is legitimate, unsecured websites present a greater risk.
🔵 Avoid clicking links in unexpected emails, text messages or direct messages. Instead, type the website address directly into your browser or use a trusted bookmark.
🔵 Watch for signs that a website may not be legitimate, such as broken links, poor-quality images, unusual formatting, or spelling & grammar mistakes.

🔐 Limit Access

The problem:
Does everyone in your business have access to everything?

Shared folders. Customer information. Financial systems. Cloud applications. Administrative accounts.

They probably shouldn't.

What to do:
Give employees access to the systems and information they actually need to do their jobs.

For example:

👤 Your bookkeeper needs access to accounting systems.
📊 Your sales team needs access to customer information.
📁 Your employees may need access to shared files.
🔐 But not everyone needs administrator access to everything.

And when someone's role changes, review their access.

Why it matters:
The more access an account has, the more damage that account could potentially cause if it's compromised.

Limiting access doesn't mean you don't trust your employees.

It means you're following a simple security principle:

Give people the keys they need — not the keys to the whole building. 🗝️

📧 Keep Business and Personal Accounts Separate

It starts innocently enough.

“I'm just going to send this to my personal email.”

Or:

“I'll save this in my personal OneDrive for now.”

We've all been there. 😁

The problem:
Once business information starts living in personal accounts, things can get messy.

What happens when someone leaves the company?
Who owns those files?
Who has access to them?
Where are important documents stored?
What happens if that personal account is compromised?

What to do:

💼 Use business email for business communications.
☁️ Store company files in your business-approved cloud storage.
🔐 Keep business passwords and accounts separate from personal ones.
👥 Make sure important business information is accessible to the right people — not just one employee.

Why it matters:
Keeping business and personal accounts separate makes your technology easier to manage, more secure, and much easier to hand over when roles change.

A little organization today can save a big headache later.

🐧 Your business information should belong to your business — not someone's personal inbox.

🐧 A penguin is about to cross the road.

Suddenly, a chicken appears and says:

“Don’t do it, man… you’ll never hear the end of it!” 🐔😂

Well… that escalated quickly. 🤣

It's Friday! Hopefully you've survived the week and are ready to cross the road into the weekend. 🐧

Put the laptop away, step away from the emails, and enjoy some well-earned downtime.

Have a great weekend!
