Cyber Attackers love it when we reuse the same password across multiple work applications. Attackers use an automated tool that rapidly tested thousands of common words, names, and predictable password combinations until they find the right one.
Multi-factor authentication can stop them from causing more damage.

08/28/2026

If an email asks you to download a tool to "view a document," stop and verify before clicking. A growing attack pattern is tricking employees into installing real IT software on their own machines. The software is called RMM (Remote Monitoring and Management), and it lets IT companies remotely control computers for support purposes. Tools like ConnectWise ScreenConnect, Datto RMM, SimpleHelp, N-able, and LogMeIn are all legitimate and digitally signed by reputable vendors. That's exactly why attackers love them. Antivirus software doesn't flag them as malicious because they aren't malicious. They're just being installed by the wrong person. In February 2026, Microsoft documented a campaign that hit 29,000 users across 10,000 organizations. The lure was a fake "IRS Transcript Viewer" email. The download was actually a repackaged ScreenConnect installer. Once an employee ran it, the attacker had full remote control of their machine. The same trick is being used with fake Zoom invites, fake Teams calls, and fake DocuSign emails. A few things you can do: Ask your IT provider to maintain an allow-list of approved RMM tools. Anything outside that list gets blocked from installing automatically. Train your team that "download this viewer to see your document" is almost always a phishing attempt. Real documents don't require a new program. Audit your endpoints for RMM software your IT provider didn't install. If you see something unfamiliar, flag it. If you're not sure what RMM tools are running on your team's computers right now, that's the first thing to check this week.

Your business email is worth more than your bank account. Stolen Microsoft 365 credentials remain the most common starting point for SMB breaches in 2026, and the reason isn't just that attackers can read your messages. Once someone has access to your email, they can reset the password for every other account tied to that address. Your bank, your accounting software, your CRM, your cloud storage. Email is the master key to your entire digital business. What attackers typically do once they get in: Set up mailbox forwarding rules so they keep seeing your replies after you change the password Send invoice fraud emails to your clients from your real account, often changing wire transfer details Sit for weeks, learning your business, before making a move Three things that meaningfully reduce this risk: Use phishing-resistant MFA where possible (FIDO2 hardware keys or Windows Hello for Business). Authenticator app prompts are better than nothing, but they can still be bypassed. Set up Conditional Access policies in Entra ID to block logins from countries you don't operate in. Review your mailbox forwarding rules monthly. In Outlook, go to Settings > Mail > Forwarding. If you see a rule you didn't create, that's a sign your account is compromised. The monthly audit takes 5 minutes and it’s one of the highest-leverage security habits you can build.

Whoever controls your domain name controls your whole business. Your domain is the address behind your website and your email. It sits in an account at whatever company you registered it with, like GoDaddy. Anyone who can log into that account can point your website and email wherever they like. At a lot of small businesses, nobody knows who has that login. It was set up years ago by a web guy who's long gone, or it's under one staff member's personal email with a password that hasn't changed since. If someone gets into that account, they don't need to hack anything else. They can send your website visitors to a fake page that still shows your real address. They can take over your email and reset the passwords on everything tied to it. They can send your clients an invoice from your real address, and your clients will pay it, because it came from you. So go and check who controls the account, whether it's got two-factor login switched on, and whether the domain lock is turned on, which stops anyone moving your domain elsewhere. While you're in there, set it to auto-renew so it can't expire.

Search for "Meet" 4. Right-click and pin it so it stays in your sidebar Once pinned, you'll see two views: upcoming meetings and past meetings. Click any past meeting to see everything tied to it.

SCAM OF THE MONTH! AI Voice Cloning Scams
Look out for requests with a sense of urgency that involve confidential data should always be verified before taking action.
Attackers often use excuses about technical problems or lost access to bypass normal security procedures.
Make sure to contact the person directly using a trusted phone number or platform before taking action.
Even if a request appears to come from a trusted leader, follow your organizations established approval and data-sharing process before complying.
Does your business not have processes, compliance or Cyber security plans in place? 619IT can help build out plans and put processes in place to keep your organization safe.

That slow old laptop your employee is putting up with is costing you more than a new one would. It's easy to treat a computer as something you only replace when it dies. As long as it still switches on, a new one feels like money you don't need to spend. Every slow start-up in the morning, every wait for a file to open, every frozen call someone has to drop and rejoin is a couple of minutes gone. It happens over and over, all day, to everyone stuck on an old machine. Add it up across a year and it's well past the price of a new laptop. And that's before the frustration, or the fact that old machines stop getting security updates, which makes a slow computer a risky one too. You don't have to replace everything at once. Just look at how old your team's computers are. Around the three or four year mark is usually where a machine starts costing you more in lost time than a replacement would. Ask your staff which computers drive them mad and they'll tell you right away. 619 IT can also point out which ones are near the end of their supported life, since those tend to be both the slowest and the least safe. Give us a call- we can check your current devices, procure new ones and get them set up for you! 619-282-1500 or email us [email protected]
