Don’t trust hotel Wi-Fi. It can be compromised even when you’ve joined the correct network.

Microsoft has found attackers taking control of the systems used for Wi-Fi login pages at hotels and conference venues. Once the login system has been compromised, guests can be redirected to a fake Microsoft 365 sign-in page or shown a fake browser update that installs malware.

The timing makes the request believable. You’ve just connected, the hotel page opens and it says an update is needed before you can continue. Checking the network name with reception won’t help because the hotel’s real Wi-Fi is involved.

Use your phone’s hotspot for work whenever possible. If you have to use hotel Wi-Fi, never enter your work password into the hotel registration page. And if the page asks you to download an update, certificate or security tool, disconnect. Joining Wi-Fi shouldn’t require you to install anything.

When you log into a new tool with your Google account instead of making a fresh password, you’re tying that tool to your Google login. Do it enough times and one account controls all of them.

It’s quick, so most people click it without thinking.

The trouble starts if someone gets into that Google account. They get your email, and every app you logged into with it, in one go.

Google itself is a risk here too. If it ever suspends or locks your account, you can lose all those apps at once, and getting a Google account back is famously hard.

So for anything your business relies on, give it its own login and password, with twofactor turned on.

And put strong security on the Google account itself, since so much now runs through it.

By default, a Microsoft account will accept a login attempt from anywhere in the world.

Most attacks on Microsoft accounts come from overseas, from automated tools trying stolen passwords by the thousand. If your business only works in one or two countries, there’s no reason to allow a login from anywhere else.

There’s a setting in Microsoft 365 called Conditional Access that lets you block any login from outside the countries you operate in. Someone trying your password from the other side of the world is turned away, even if the password is right.

It won’t stop everything, and a determined attacker can route through your country to get past it. But it blocks the flood of automated attempts from places you’ll never deal with, and that’s most of what you’re up against.

You’ll need the right Microsoft plan, and it’s set up in the admin area, so ask your IT provider to turn it on and set the countries you work in.

Think about everyone outside your company who has a login to your systems: the web developer from two years ago, the marketing freelancer, the bookkeeper who left in March. A lot of those accounts are probably still active.

These accounts are easy to forget because the people aren’t your employees. But each one is a way into your business, and you have no idea how well that person guards their password.

Do this:
1. List every outside person and company with a login to your email, files, website, accounting, or any business system.

2. For each one, decide whether they still need it and when they last used it.

3. Turn off anything that’s no longer needed, and ask your IT provider to set a reminder to review this again in six months.

For the access you keep, give each outside party their own named login, never a shared one. If something goes wrong, you’ll want to know exactly whose account it was.

If you want your team to work fast, don’t skimp on their computers or your internet.

Everything moves quicker than it used to. Customers want fast replies, and the jobs often go to whoever gets back to them first. Your team can’t be quick if their tools are slow.

A laptop that takes an age to load, internet that keeps dropping, cheap software that hangs, all of it means your people spend half the day waiting around and working out ways past the problem. It’s frustrating, and good staff hate not being able to get on with the job because of the gear they’ve been given.

Spend a bit more here and you get it back. The work goes faster, and people are happier doing it.

You don’t need top-of-the-range everything. You just need computers and a connection that are quick and reliable enough to stay out of your team’s way.

Everyone’s downloading AI tools at the moment, and scammers have caught on.

Say someone on your team wants to try a new AI app. They search for it, click the top result, and end up on a page that looks like the real company’s site. They download the app. It’s fake, and it steals every password saved on their computer.

The fake sites are hard to spot because they copy the real ones closely, and the link is often an ad shown above the real website in the results.

Security firms have reported a lot more of this over the past year.

Only download software by going to the company’s real website yourself, not by clicking an ad or a search result. If a page asks you to install something and you’re not sure it’s real, don’t. And it helps to agree as a team on which AI tools you use, so people aren’t installing unknown ones to try them out.

Passkeys are the replacement for passwords, and they’re now supported widely enough to start using.

Instead of a password you type, your device holds a private key and proves it’s you with your fingerprint, face, or PIN. There’s no password to phish, and nothing for a hacker to steal if the website itself gets breached.

Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, PayPal, and a growing list of services let you sign in with a passkey. They sync across your devices through your Apple, Google, or Microsoft account, and password managers like 1Password and Bitwarden store them too, so you’re not tied to one brand of phone.

Start with the accounts that matter most: your email and your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace login. Those accounts can reset most of your others, so protect them first. Turn on passkeys wherever the option is offered, and keep your password as a backup while your team gets used to it.

Most break-ins still start with a stolen or reused password. Passkeys take that off the table.
