Hackers target all types of businesses, all the time. They don’t care if it’s part of the healthcare system or a small one-man-band business. They are using clever automated tools and are sending out billions of emails every day!

The problem is these emails can look very convincing. They claim to be from someone you know, such as your bank, Business owner, Netflix, or a family member. These emails will have one of two things in them:

1. It will contain a link that explains your account is about to be locked or a payment has been made for a random amount and they want you to confirm it was you.
2. They will ask for you to send them your mobile number so they can text you as they have a new phone. They will then continue to explain they are in a meeting and need you to buy some gift cards or vouchers.

 If an employee or a client receives an email and they follow the instructions, then they should contact their IT department without hesitation. As this could lead to a potential data breach and data loss.

 It only takes one person to click on a bad link… and hackers can then get into your system. This could include stealing data to sell on the dark web or lock you out of your system and request a Ransomware. This is why Cyber Security training and awareness is essential in any business!

That’s why we’ve written this brand-new guide. It will tell you about the ultimate secret to keeping your businesses data safe! We’ve also seen a huge increase of scams during Covid, that’s why we’ve also wrote about spotting COVID scams.
