But it’s happening. 😧

Whether it’s your Google Assistant, Alexa, or Siri...

They capture recorded conversations that they can use to collect all your personal data.

From credit card numbers to passwords and even… when you’re going in and out of your home or business. (Scary!)

You can go onto Google and check where you’re currently logged in at. If there is a location or a device you don’t recognize or an old session from a friend’s computer - delete it.

If you’re concerned, change your password!

This option is available for many other online accounts, such as Facebook, Yahoo, and Dropbox, too.

🎁 Who's got an Amazon Echo, Apple HomePod, or Google Home on their Christmas list?

These are some of the most popular Christmas gifts people ask for, and they’re also one of the most popular ways a hacker can get all the information they need to attack your devices!

This can result in losing much more than credit card information and some of your privacy…

If you own a business, you need to know that some people have lost their ENTIRE BUSINESS due to these cyber attacks. ​

What do you think - true or false?

Does a company not have any data that would be of value just because they’re small? 🤔

Take a guess and let us know what you think.

When the technology in your company stops working at the WORST possible time, who do you call? 🤔

NOT Ghostbusters!

You call your IT provider and hope that they actually answer the phone when you need them the most.

The programs and technology you have in your office can and WILL need to be tended to at some point in the life of your business.

You need to know that your IT provider is going to answer the phone when you call them and prioritize getting your business up and running again… quickly.

Since the pandemic, many small businesses have elected to change their standard setup for how employees work.

According to an April 2022 survey by Envoy, 77% of companies use a hybrid working model for employees. That allows them flexibility on whether they work in an office or remotely.

Here are a few fast-tips for keeping your phone apps a little safer.

1. Remove any apps you don’t use – they are vulnerabilities for your security and privacy
2. Revoke permissions for apps that require access to sensitive information – why would a calculator app request access to your photos?
3. Keep apps updated – this lowers your chances for hackers to exploit unpatched vulnerabilities

Your phone IS a computer, treat it like one!

Did you know the average person has between 60 and 90 apps installed on their phone!?

Apps have come along way since the first app, Nokia’s game Snake, was released in 1997. Now you can check weather, track your fitness and food, do your banking, and more.

What’s your favorite app? Share below!

Did you know that small and medium sized businesses are the TOP target for cyber attacks?

Here’s what you can do to protect your SMB:
👉 Train your employees to understand and follow cybersecurity best practices.
👉 Think like a hacker. Identify where you would think as a hacker, what your company’s weakest links are and work hard to strengthen them.
👉 Invest in a cybersecurity policy. Cybersecurity insurance is just as important as any other insurance policy you may have.

Don’t assume that the package you have with your current IT provider already includes the coverage.

When shopping online it is better to use a credit card or a payment service link Paypal instead of a debit card for several reasons.

One of the biggest is that the debit card is linked directly to your bank account and you do not want a cybercriminal to gain access to that information.

Another is if you dispute an unauthorized purchase made with a debit card, you’ll be in a weaker position because the merchant will already have your money.
It could take weeks or longer to get it back.

When you use a credit card you’ll have time to dispute a charge before any money is actually paid out giving you the upper hand.

When shopping online make sure you only enter your credit card information on sites that are secure.

One way you can tell is if the URL starts with https.

If you’re not sure if the website is secure, don’t input your information.

Find another site that sells it, even if it’s a little bit more. Getting hacked isn’t worth it.

You have to start kids early these days!!

Have a great weekend.

😳 Did you know when you buy a security camera or even a baby monitor, the devices will ship to you with default passwords that are well-known by hackers? (Yikes!)

If you don't change the password before using them, you leave the door wide open for hackers to access your devices.

This is dangerous in two ways:
1. All of your activities can be recorded.
2. These cameras can show when you are not home, allowing criminals to know when it’s safe to burglarize your house!

You can stop the hackers in their tracks by immediately changing the passwords on these devices.
The more you know.

When it comes to promotional emails, if it seems too good to be true, it likely is.

If you receive an email with a great holiday offer, make sure it’s actually from the retailer. Cybercriminals will get creative and create fake emails that look similar to the real brand in order to trick customers.

If they offer a code for special pricing, manually type in and go to the website and enter it or search for the promotion on Google.

The holiday season is in full swing which means so are the cybercriminals.

BEFORE you purchase anything online, make sure the website you’re on is the real deal.

Cybercriminals will set up fake websites with fake products hoping that you’ll either enter your information and they can steal it or you’ll buy an item, they’ll collect the payment and then never send you the product.

Don’t be fooled! Verify EVERY vendor FIRST.
