Are the days of posting AI content without anyone knowing coming to an end?

Anthropic is adding an invisible watermark to text written by new Claude models.

You won't see the watermark. It is created through patterns in the words Claude chooses, so copying the answer into Word, an email or a website won't remove it. Some editing may leave the mark intact too.

Anthropic plans to provide tools that can estimate whether Claude helped write a piece of text.

Those tools cannot identify the person who used Claude, show what they asked or tell how much of the finished document was written by them.

A document may carry the watermark even if Claude was only used to rewrite part of it.

Businesses can keep using Claude for drafts and editing, but staff should know that its involvement may be detectable. Anything sent to a client or published under the company name still needs to be checked for accuracy.

If your team is already using AI at work and you're not sure what rules you need, let's have a chat.

48% of breaches involved ransomware.

Ransomware appeared in nearly half of the breaches analyzed in Verizon’s 2026 report. For an owner, the concern extends beyond a ransom demand: interrupted work and exposed information can affect the people counting on your business. Prevention and a practiced recovery plan both matter.

A text from your CEO is still just a text.

A familiar name and an urgent request don’t prove who is contacting you. If a text asks for money, passwords, or an unusual favor, contact the person through a number or channel you already trust. Verify before acting.

40% higher click rates in mobile phishing simulations.

In Verizon’s phishing simulations, mobile entry points such as texts and voice calls had a higher median successful-click rate than email. Your team’s caution needs to travel with them. A familiar name on a phone screen still deserves verification when the request involves money or access.

Money request? Verify somewhere else.

Before changing bank details, wiring money, buying gift cards, or updating payroll information, verify through a separate channel. Call using a number already in your records—not the number in the request. Make this a routine rule for everyone, including the owner.

$187 MILLION lost to business email compromise in Florida.

Florida victims reported $187.3 million in business email compromise losses to the FBI in 2025. A convincing payment request can put real money at risk. A routine verification process gives your team permission to pause, even when the request appears to come from someone they trust.

Some free VPNs make money by letting other people send traffic through your internet connection.

Google recently took down a large network that used devices running apps advertised as free VPNs.

While the VPN worked, the app also allowed other customers' internet traffic to pass through the device.

On a work laptop, that traffic would appear to come from your company's public IP address. Your IP could get blocked because of activity nobody in the business carried out.

Google also found that some of this software could expose other devices on the same network.

Check which VPNs and browser extensions are installed on company devices. Staff should use the VPN provided by the business, not one they found online because it was free.

Want to know whether unapproved VPNs or proxy software are installed on your company devices? Reach out and we can check for you.

Don’t reuse your work password anywhere else.

Give each work account a unique password. Use your company-approved password manager to generate and save it. Reusing a password lets a breach at one service put other accounts at risk.

38% of SMB breaches involved compromised credentials.

A stolen login can open the door to email, files, and business systems. In Verizon’s SMB breach analysis, compromised credentials were a recurring factor. Protecting access helps protect the relationships and information your business depends on.

Stop approving unexpected MFA prompts.

If you didn’t start the login, don’t approve the request. Report it to your IT team through your usual support channel. An unexpected prompt can mean someone is trying to access your account, and may already have your password.
