What happens during onboarding sets the stage for the relationship between a client and a vendor for years to come. We will discuss how Your Tech Team does it differently

One old password, one small vendor, and data on 8.8 million people.

That's the story out of Denmark this month. The country's national ID register confirmed that data on 8.8 million people was accessed through a small IT company that had legitimate access. A person claiming responsibility told the newspaper Politiken they got in with a former employee's leaked password, "123456." The government hasn't confirmed that part, but the company confirmed its access was abused. Per documents reported by TV 2, it went on for weeks and was only caught when someone noticed an unusually high invoice.

The lesson isn't about Denmark. It's about every office that shares access with outside vendors:
• Turn off accounts the day someone leaves.
• Put MFA on every admin and vendor login.
• Block weak and reused passwords.
• Know who, and which vendors, can reach your sensitive data.
• Keep an eye out for activity that looks unusual.

Want a second set of eyes? YourTech can review your offboarding and vendor access with you.

Talking about recent breaches and security tips

10/21/2026

Most offices have turned on multi-factor authentication for their staff. That's great. But the apps connected to your Microsoft 365, like backup tools, have their own keys.

This week, a stolen credential for ConnectWise Cloud Backup (formerly SkyKick) was used to sign in to customer Microsoft 365 accounts as the backup app itself. That app already had broad access to email, files, and Teams, and because no person was logging in, MFA didn't apply. ConnectWise has paused the service while it investigates, so scheduled backups aren't running for its customers right now.

Two questions worth asking this week:
• Which outside apps can get into our Microsoft 365?
• Is our backup running today, and can we actually restore from it?

Not sure what's connected to your Microsoft 365? YourTech is happy to take a look.

Ever get a text saying you owe a toll or a package can't be delivered? Many of those come from ready-made scam kits sold online.

This week Microsoft and Health-ISAC, with partners in Japan and across the industry, moved to shut down a big marketplace selling those kits. Its tools were behind more than one billion scam messages since January.

That's good news, but more scam texts will still come. The safest habit stays the same:
• Don't tap the link.
• Open the official app or type the website in yourself.
• When in doubt, ask before you act.

YourTech can help your staff spot these with phishing awareness training and better email and text filtering.

Does your office use a VPN to let staff work from home? If it's Ivanti Connect Secure, it needs an update today.

Federal cybersecurity agency CISA says attackers are actively exploiting a new flaw in Ivanti Connect Secure to run commands without logging in, steal credentials, and take data. Ivanti's own checking tool may not spot it.

What to do:
• Find out which VPN your office uses and its version.
• Update Ivanti Connect Secure to the latest version right away.
• If there's any chance it was compromised, follow CISA's reset steps and change passwords for all accounts.

Not sure what your office runs? YourTech can check it with you and handle the update.

Heads up, New England shoppers.

Ahold Delhaize, the company behind Stop & Shop, Hannaford, Giant, and Food Lion, says it took some systems offline after a cybersecurity incident. Stores are open, but news reports say websites, apps, and online ordering have been down and online orders are being refunded.

When a big name has an outage, scammers move fast. Watch for texts and emails about:
• Refunds that ask for your card details
• Rescheduling a delivery
• Logging in to see your pay stub

Don't click links in messages you weren't expecting. Go to the store's website or app yourself.

Want your team ready for scams like these? YourTech can help with simple phishing awareness reminders.

Even the FBI got caught by a missed update.

The bureau says a breach that exposed personal details of thousands of its employees happened because a contractor didn't install a security patch that had already been released for the platform. The FBI has removed that contractor.

The lesson for the rest of us: updates only protect you once they're actually installed.

A few things worth checking at your office:
• Who installs updates on each of your systems, including software a vendor manages for you?
• How quickly do critical updates get applied?
• Can someone show you a report, not just tell you it's handled?

Want a clear picture of where your patches stand? YourTech is happy to take a look.
