They are never going to ask them to download a remote-access tool or remote-management tool from the web.”

"As if having your data compromised, exfiltrated, and ransomed wasn’t bad enough, the price of handling a breach is rising too. IBM’s annual Cost of a Data Breach report saw an increase of 12% year-over-year in incident expense, due to what a company researcher described as a bigger “blast radius” per breach, higher remediation pricetags, and AI-based automation that makes attacks cheap for cybercriminals and pricy for defenders."

"AI is powering a lot of what’s happening here," an IBM researcher told us. As if having your data compromised, exfiltrated, and ransomed wasn’t bad enough, the price of handling a breach is rising, too.

Still clinging to that old Windows 10 PC? Good news! If you haven't already, you can sign up for the ESU program and continue to receive critical security updates for another year, through mid-October 2027. However, keep in mind that Microsoft will most likely NOT extend these security updates again, so this is essentially a "band-aid" so everyone can make plans and replace their old devices within the next year. As time goes on, old unsupported devices become increasingly susceptible to scammers, hackers, and other malicious folks out there... So don't wait until the last minute! Shoot me a message and I'll be happy to help you narrow down solid replacement options, get everything backed up and transferred, and get you off to a great start on a new computer. 🤓

Use Windows 10 securely with the Extended Security Updates program. See how it helps protect your PC and find out how to get it.
