I would rather see unsuccessful sign-ins than loose access to my Microsoft account. Set strong passwords and don't click fishy links in emails you receive!

Sometimes they just need a little bit of TLC to be good to go.

Take good care of the server so it's never down😂

AI has led to some fantastic art creation tools in the hands of any novice, made workflows better in the office environment, but let me tell you about some of the dangers.

Because of the fact that nearly anyone with or without experience can create such realistic recreations of other's artwork, voice, and writing style, you need to be even more diligent than ever. If someone has enough voice samples of a person, it makes it entirely possible to totally recreate the voice of a loved one. Imagine if you will, your brother's voice has become hijacked by someone using AI. Your 'brother' could say he's in a difficult situation, like on a vacation and he's in a pinch for money to get home. You should be able to see how easy it could be to fall for something like this. Stay safe out there, folks.

Today I received a phishing email on my work email, and I thought it'd be helpful to others by sharing what these typically look like. They love using language meant to scare you at a glance to click on one of the links embedded in the email in an urgent and direct manner. "Deposit Rejected" to me sounds like my direct deposit for my paycheck couldn't go through. This came at the approximate time we were paid, so this would make most people worry about their income. Always stay vigilant, folks!
