🚨 Wednesday Cybersecurity Tip: Safer Sign-Ins

Did you know major tech companies are moving away from text message (SMS) security codes because they’re becoming a bigger target for scammers?

Phone numbers can be hijacked through SIM-swap attacks, putting your accounts at risk.

A few safer steps:

✅ Use an authenticator app
✅ Turn on passkeys when available
✅ Review your recovery settings
✅ Add a PIN to your mobile carrier account
✅ Never share verification codes

Small security changes can prevent big problems later.

Stay safe out there! 🔐

💳 Keep an eye on your bank and credit accounts
👶 Consider protecting your child’s identity as well

🚨 Microsoft Edge users, be aware of this…

A recent security report found that saved passwords in Microsoft Edge may stay loaded in memory while the browser is open, which could make them easier to access if a system is already compromised.

This doesn’t mean Edge is “unsafe” overnight, but it is a good reminder:

🔐 Don’t rely only on browser-saved passwords
🛡️ Use MFA whenever possible
🔑 Consider using a dedicated password manager
⚠️ Keep devices updated and protected

And honestly, these issues tend to become bigger problems:

👉 Late Friday
👉 Over weekends
👉 When everyone is rushing

Awareness and good habits still go a long way 👍

🚨 Something we experienced recently…

We almost had a situation where an email looked completely legitimate: same tone, timing, everything.

Turns out, it was a social engineering attempt.

That’s the scary part…
It’s not about hacking systems anymore; it’s about tricking people.

And honestly, most of these happen:
👉 Late Friday
👉 When everyone’s wrapping up
👉 Right before the weekend

👉 Something to keep in mind:
Security isn’t just tools; it’s training your team.

👇 I’ll drop a few simple things we’re reinforcing in the comments 👇
