No matter what anti-virus protection you use, it does not protect your email account from being hacked.

Whether you use Gmail, Rogers, Outlook, or your own business email address, most email accounts can be accessed through webmail. That means your email is still online and available 24/7, even when your computer and phone are turned off.

Anti-virus is still important, but it is not enough on its own. To better protect your email, focus on three key things:

1. Use strong, unique passwords
2. Turn on 2FA or MFA
3. Learn how to spot phishing scams before they trick you

If you run a business, there are additional protections available to help secure your email, users, and accounts.

Contact [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) to discuss your options.

A client thought their laptop was hacked because the battery stopped charging. It turned out to be a failing battery, not hackers.

Unfortunately, fear and misinformation online make people assume every problem is a virus or cyberattack.

Hackers usually want one of three things:
• your money
• your identity
• access to larger systems

A dead battery usually just means… a dead battery.

Technology problems are stressful enough without panic added on top. Feel free to share this with someone who could benefit from it.
