Your IT person's admin account can change almost everything in your business. If they're logged into it while reading email or browsing, one bad click hands all of that over. They should use a normal account day to day and only sign into admin when they need it.

At least one of your team's work emails is probably already in a leaked password list. Go to haveibeenpwned.com and check. It's free. Anything that shows up, change that password now and anywhere else you reused it. Then ask your IT provider about dark web monitoring.

That contract you emailed is sitting in someone else's inbox forever, and it can be forwarded to anyone. For anything sensitive, share a link from OneDrive, Google Drive or Dropbox that only the named person can open, set it to expire, and switch it off when they're done.

If someone takes over your business page, they can scam your customers using your name. Turn on two-factor authentication for every social account. Stop sharing one login and use Business Manager so each person has their own access you can remove when they leave.

If your guests, staff phones and work computers are all on the same wifi, they can all reach each other. One infected laptop sits right next to the machine running your accounts. Put guests and smart devices on separate networks. Most routers do this already.

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?
