๐Ÿ” Cyber Smart Week may be wrapping up, but cyber security isn't a once-a-year conversation. This week we've learned a few things...

Some of you are confidently using one password for everything, even more of you are frequent users of 'forgot password', and many of you would be keen on a fictional job that comes with a helicopter!

Jokes aside, the week's discussions highlighted an important truth: cyber security isn't just about technology. It's about people, habits, and the decisions we make every day.

Safety first out there:
โœ… Think before you click
โœ… Use stronger passwords and MFA
โœ… For sensitive material โ€“ if in doubt, leave it out
โœ… Be intentional about how AI is used in your workplace

So remember, if you get a random message from someone that looks like grandma, it could be a wolf in sheep's clothing ๐Ÿบ

Your CEO leaves you a voice message asking for an urgent payment. The voice is right, the tone is right, the request is plausible. It's also fake.

AI is making cyber threats like this cheaper to produce and harder to spot. It's also creating risk inside businesses. Are your policies and your people ready?

In our latest blog, Wellington Branch Manager Justin Kissling looks at what that means for employers:

- Why a blanket ban on AI tends to backfire
- What a usable AI policy needs to answer
- Why your people are both your biggest risk and your strongest defence
- Five questions to ask before adding more AI tools
- How to spot the capability gaps in your team

๐Ÿšจ If you've just received a message from one of our Consultants offering you a role as a Sheep Census Coordinator in Feilding... it's probably a scam. (At least we hope so!)

Hiring scams have become increasingly sophisticated. The obvious spelling mistakes and suspicious email addresses have been replaced with convincing messages, professional-looking profiles, and realistic job opportunities. Sometimes they even use photos of our team.

Unfortunately, scammers sometimes impersonate recruiters, hiring managers, and trusted brands to try and obtain personal information from job seekers.

Before responding to a message, ask yourself:

โ“๏ธ Does this role actually make sense for my skills and experience?
โ“๏ธAm I being asked for personal or financial information unusually early in the process?
โ“๏ธIs there pressure to act immediately?
โ“๏ธHave I verified who is contacting me?

The best scams don't look like scams anymore. That's why a healthy dose of scepticism is one of the best security tools you have.

At Absolute IT, protecting candidates and clients is incredibly important to us. We've put together guidance on how to verify communications from our team and what legitimate recruitment communication should look like.

So next time we ask you about an obscure role, call us instead to verify! We love a chat! Or read more about safely communicating with us here ๐Ÿ‘‰ https://buff.ly/qwBFaws

Scammers got an AI upgradeโ€ฆhave you? Cyber attacks are becoming faster, smarter, and harder to spot. The obvious scam emails of the past have been replaced by convincing messages designed to target people, not just technology.

That's why this week we've signed up to take part in Cyber Smart Week from Own Your Online! This week we'll be sharing practical tips to help you:

- Spot scams and phishing attempts
- Better protect your accounts and information
- Keep your business and people safe online
- Stay one step ahead of emerging threats
