When accessing a banking site, social media site or any other application containing sensitive data, make sure you log out of the site and THEN close your browser. If you simply close your browser, some information can still be running in the background when you are done #techtip

You know you’re guilty of it: using the same password for everything. However, If an e-commerce site you’ve joined gets hacked – and you’ve used the SAME password for your email, you can bet hackers will gain access to your inbox. The ONE password to keep unique is your email.

#TechTip - Require dual-factor authentication to access your bank account. Most banks will have this as a security setting for your account. That simply means when you try to log in, you will be asked to enter a code sent to your mobile phone or personal e-mail #security #finance

Over 600,000 Facebook accounts are hacked every day. If you’re using a company device to access a compromised account, you’re opening up a door to a hacker who can then get into your company’s network via your e-mail or PC. #techtip #cybersafe #cybersecurity #itservices

Hackers can set up fake clones of public WiFi names to try and get you to connect to THEIR WiFi over the legitimate one being made available to you. Remember to NEVER enter your credit card info, or access financial, medical or other sensitive data while on public WiFi #cybersafe

Dropbox, Google Drive and other consumer-grade file sync and sharing cloud applications could pose a huge threat to your company because company data can be spread without oversight of what information is being accessed. Over 7 MILLION Dropbox accounts have been hacked #security

Oh no! You’ve lost your device, now what? Notify your IT department immediately that you’ve lost your device. That will allow them (or us) to change passwords, lock access, and wipe data that a thief may gain access to. #mdm #mobile #encryption #remotework

Device manufacturers LOVE to load your brand-new PC, tablet or phone full of “free” applications called #bloatware. Clutter will rob a speedy PC of its power, and outdated apps are a breeding ground for hackers; if you don’t use it, remove it! #malware #cybersafe #cybersecurity

Many hackers have ONE goal in mind: to find a new vulnerability on a common software to access your computer (like Adobe, Flash or QuickTime). Once a KNOWN vulnerability is announced via a patch, hackers quickly get to work to find outdated systems. #cybersecurity #patching

Hackers will purchase and set up a fraudulent website that is a close misspelling of your business website. They can then use that domain and copy your signature to send requests to other people in your company. With email security and proper filters these emails can be blocked

The Dark Web is a part of the Internet that allows hackers to remain anonymous and untraceable. They then sell information to other hackers. There is a VERY HIGH probability YOUR information is being sold on the #darkweb. Contact us for a free Dark Web scan #itsecurity #business

Phishing e-mails are a bogus e-mail that is designed to look like a legitimate request from a site you trust. Once they get your information they will use the same attack against anyone you have ever contacted. Always check the URL and contact your IT if an email looks suspicious

Ransomware encrypts files and forces many business owners to lose data or pay up since there was no other way to decrypt the files. If a payment is made it is possible that it could get much worse. It is critical to keep backups and to be diligent about IT security #cybersecurity

Have you ever got a pop-up notification that your PC is infected with a virus and you must “click here” to run a scan or install antivirus software? This is a scam. The safest thing to do is close your browser and notify your IT department immediately. #techscam #cybersecurity

A weak password is still one of the most common ways hackers break in. Don’t use dictionary words with proper capitalization because they’re easy to guess like Password123. Hackers have sophisticated password-hacking software that will run 24/7/365 to guess common passwords.

Plan on catching up on work over the weekend? You might want to think twice before accessing company information on a personal device. ONLY use devices that are managed by your IT company and have effective protection should be used. #cybersecurity #itservices #sandiego

Did you know… If a hacker takes money from your business account, the bank is NOT responsible for replacing your funds since a business bank account doesn’t have the same protections. The FDIC does not protect you from fraud. It protects you from bank insolvency #fraud #security
