This one doesn’t need a suspicious link.
Or an attachment.
Or even an email.

Sometimes the entire scam is simply getting you to believe you’re talking to someone you trust. If your boss, coworker, vendor, or anyone else suddenly asks you to send money, buy gift cards, change payment information, or do something unusual, verify the request another way. And here’s the important part: don’t ask the suspicious message if it’s suspicious. Call the person using contact information you already know is theirs.

Would you have picked C?

MFA. Multi-factor authentication. Two-step verification.
Different names. Pretty simple idea.

A password is one way of proving you’re you. MFA asks for another.
That might be a prompt in an authenticator app, a security key, or another approved verification method. So if someone somehow gets your password, the password alone may not be enough to get into the account.

That’s why MFA is one of the cybersecurity basics worth turning on wherever it’s available.

Tomorrow, check one important account and see if you have it enabled.

This is what makes phishing tricky. The message doesn’t have to look ridiculous. It just has to look believable enough that you react before you think.

Our favorite clue here? The urgency.
“Act now.”
“Your account will be closed.”
“Your password expires today.”

That doesn’t automatically mean an email is fake, but it should be your cue to slow down.
Instead of using the link in the message, go directly to the service you normally use and check there.

How quickly did you catch this one?

We protect valuable things without even thinking about it. Business data deserves that same instinct.

Tomorrow begins Cybersecurity Awareness Month, so throughout October we’re going to talk about cybersecurity the way we think it should be talked about: clearly, practically, and without making it sound more complicated than it needs to be.

For Cybersecurity Awareness Month, let's start with four things that almost anyone can understand:

Use strong, unique passwords
Turn on multi-factor authentication
Pay attention before clicking unexpected links
Keep your software updated

That's it.

Throughout October, we'll take some of this stuff apart, explain what actually matters, test you with a few scams, and hopefully make cybersecurity feel a little less confusing.
Because you shouldn't need to work in IT to understand how to protect yourself online.

Here’s a little experiment for your Monday.

Search your business online, but look at the results like someone who doesn’t work there.
How quickly can you figure out who works there? What they do? Who the leadership team is? How your email addresses are formatted?

None of that automatically means something is wrong. A lot of it is normal business information.

But it’s a good reminder of why a random email that knows your name, your boss’s name, or where you work isn’t automatically trustworthy.

The more convincing something looks, the more important it is to slow down and verify it.

It’s Friday. We know you’re mentally already out the door. So we’ll keep this one short.

Save your work. Secure your computer. Don’t leave anything sensitive sitting around your desk. Then go enjoy the weekend.

We hear versions of this all the time.
“Why would anyone bother with a business our size?”

Because cybercriminals aren’t necessarily looking for the biggest company in West Virginia. They’re looking for an opportunity. And smaller businesses don’t always have someone dedicated to cybersecurity watching what’s happening behind the scenes.

You don’t need to become a cybersecurity expert. You just need to know where your risks are and have a plan for them.

We clean out closets in the fall. Your business technology could probably use a little attention too.

Old accounts, updates you’ve clicked “later” on one too many times, access that hasn’t been reviewed in a while, little things have a way of piling up.

So consider this your fall IT reset.
Pick one thing on this list and take care of it this week. Your future self may be very glad you did.

You don’t have to become a cybersecurity expert every time you open your inbox.

If a message is unexpected, the sender looks strange, or it’s suddenly pushing you to click, pay, sign in, or respond immediately, give yourself a second before doing anything.

When you’re unsure, verify the request another way instead of using what’s inside the suspicious message.
