Nobody talks about this enough

In 2013, every single Yahoo account on the planet was hacked.

Not some of them. Not most of them. Every. Single. One.

3 billion accounts.
Your name.
Your password.
Your phone number.
Your date of birth.
Your security questions.

And Yahoo said absolutely nothing.

For three years they sat on it. Three years of knowing that the largest data breach in human history had happened on their watch and they stayed quiet.

They only started talking when they had no choice. In 2016 they disclosed a "separate" breach affecting 500 million accounts. Then quietly, almost in a whisper, admitted that actually the 2013 breach had hit every account they had ever had.

Here is what really gets me about this story.

The passwords? You can change a password.

But the security questions? Your mother's maiden name. The street you grew up on. Your first pet.

You cannot change those.

That information is still out there right now thirteen years later.

Verizon was buying Yahoo at the time. They found out and knocked $350 million off the price. The CEO lost her bonus. Yahoo paid $85 million in a lawsuit.

But the data?

Still floating around on dark web marketplaces to this day.

This is why I do what I do. Not to scare you. But because the companies you trusted with your information did not always deserve that trust and most people never even found out.

Your address might be up for sale๐Ÿš—

This week it was reported that 130,000 UK Mercedes drivers may have had their personal data stolen and listed for sale on an underground criminal marketplace.

We are not talking about just a name and email address.

The listing claimed to contain customer and vehicle data records including details that could be used to identify individual owners, their vehicles, and their locations. Researchers confirmed the dataset included sample records that appeared legitimate.

And here is the part that should concern every single person reading this, you do not have to own a Mercedes for this to affect you. This kind of breach happens across every industry, every brand, every business. Your data sits in more places than you realise.

Criminals can use vehicle ownership data to run highly targeted phishing attacks, generate fake registration papers, and commit identity fraud all from one stolen database.

You did nothing wrong.

You just bought a car.

That is the world we are operating in right now.

I stand up, start talking about what criminals can do to your business, and watch the colour slowly drain from the room.

Then Sheldon steps in. Calm. Reassuring. Basically the human equivalent of a warm cup of tea.
And somehow it works.

I scare you. He fixes you. Between us we get the message across without anyone needing to lie down.

If you have ever sat through one of our talks and left feeling both terrified and oddly optimistic at the same time, that was entirely intentional....

Probably.

Which? have flagged a scam text currently circulating that claims your Evri delivery has failed and asks you to follow a link to reschedule it.

So far so familiar. Most of us have seen dodgy delivery texts before and like to think we would spot them.

But here is what makes this one different.

The link leads to a fake Evri website that is almost indistinguishable from the real one. Current logos, current branding, professional layout, working navigation. Which? found it was only created recently, built specifically to catch people out right now.

You enter your name, address and payment details to rearrange the delivery. You hand everything straight to a criminal. And because the site looks so legitimate, most people do not realise what has happened until they check their bank.

The reason delivery scams work better than almost any other type is timing. Most of us are waiting on at least one parcel at any given moment. So a text about a missed delivery does not feel random or suspicious. It feels expected.

That is the trap.

Never follow a link in an unexpected delivery text. Open the Evri app or go directly to evri.com and check your delivery status from there. Takes ten seconds longer and could save you a serious amount of stress.

"We are too small to be a target."

I understand why people think this. It makes logical sense. Why would a criminal bother with a small business when there are huge corporations out there?

Here is why.

Criminals are not sat in a dark room carefully selecting their next victim. They are running automated tools that scan thousands of businesses at once looking for the ones with the easiest doors to walk through.

Small businesses are often the easiest doors. Less security investment. Smaller teams. No dedicated IT department. Faster decisions with less checking.

In fact some attackers specifically target small businesses precisely because they know the "we are too small" mindset leaves them wide open.

The size of your business does not determine whether you get targeted. The strength of your door does.

And the good news is that a strong door does not have to be expensive or complicated. It just has to be there.
