Cyber Fact Friday: Too Many MFA Requests Can Be a Warning Sign

Getting repeated MFA notifications you didn't initiate?

Don't just dismiss them.

Attackers may deliberately send repeated login or MFA requests hoping that a frustrated user will eventually approve one just to make the notifications stop. This technique is known as MFA fatigue or MFA bombing.

If you receive an unexpected MFA request, don't approve it. Report it to your IT team and check whether someone is attempting to access your account.

AI adoption isn't just an IT decision.

As more businesses introduce AI tools into their day-to-day operations, there's another question organizations need to ask:

Are we ready to use AI securely?

AI readiness involves more than choosing the right tool. Organizations should also consider:

• How employees are using AI
• What company or customer data is being shared
• Who has access to AI tools
• What policies and governance are in place
• How AI-related risks are monitored and managed

At the same time, cybercriminals are using AI to make attacks more sophisticated.

The organizations adopting AI successfully won't just be thinking about what the technology can do. They'll also be thinking about how to use it responsibly and securely.

Is AI part of your organization's plans? It may be time to look at the security and governance side of the conversation, too.

Cyber Fact Friday: A QR Code Can Be a Phishing Link

Think twice before scanning that random QR code.

Cybercriminals can use malicious QR codes to send people to fake login pages, fraudulent websites or sites designed to steal sensitive information. This tactic is sometimes called quishing (QR code phishing).

QR codes can appear in emails, text messages, posters, flyers or even stickers placed over legitimate QR codes.

Before you scan, ask yourself: Do I know where this code is taking me?

Monday Tech Tip: Use AI — But Verify the Results 🤖

AI tools like ChatGPT can help with brainstorming, writing, and productivity, but they aren’t perfect.

Before sharing or acting on AI-generated information, take a moment to review the details and confirm important facts. AI is a powerful assistant — not a replacement for human judgment.
