Using the same password twice means a breach at some site you forgot about can get someone into your business email. Attackers take leaked passwords and try them everywhere automatically. A strong password doesn't help if you reused it. Use a password manager and turn on MFA.

Google put out an emergency Chrome update in June 2026 for a flaw attackers were already using. Just visiting a bad web page is enough to get hit, no clicking needed. Click the three dots, Help, About Google Chrome, then Relaunch. Updates only take effect once you restart.

Google released security updates for 74 Chrome vulnerabilities, including CVE-2026-11645, a high-severity V8 out-of-bounds memory access flaw.

If a website tells you to press Windows+R and paste in a command to 'verify you're human,' close the tab. That's a scam called ClickFix, and it installs malware the second you hit Enter. No real website ever asks you to run a command. CAPTCHAs just make you click pictures.

ClickFix attacks are delivering BabaDeda, Lorem Ipsum, and Potemkin loaders to deploy stealers, RATs, and ransomware-linked tooling.

Your cyber insurance might not pay out. Insurers now require MFA, real endpoint protection, tested backups, and security training, and if you claimed to have them but didn't, they can deny the claim. Read your policy's conditions now, not after an attack.

Anyone can send an email that looks like it's from your company. Three DNS records stop it: SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. The catch is DMARC is often set to 'monitor only,' which watches spoofing happen without blocking it. Ask your IT provider: is ours set to reject, or just none?

Your team is using AI right now, whether you have a policy on it or not.

ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Claude, and a dozen niche business tools are in the workflow of someone in your business this week. These tools learn from what you type, sometimes retain it for training, and live outside whatever data security setup you've built for the rest of the business.

Without a written policy, you have no way to know what client data is being pasted into prompts, which business decisions are being made with AI assistance, or how your insurance views any of it if something goes wrong.

An AI Acceptable Use Policy doesn't have to be 30 pages. A one-page version covers the essentials: which tools are approved, what data is forbidden as input, what disclosure rules apply to AI-generated work, and who reviews AI output before it goes to a client.

If you want a full AI Acceptable Use Policy template to implement in your business, comment below with "AI Policy" and we'll send it to you.
