A quick security heads-up for anyone checking work email today:

If you open an image attachment and it suddenly pops up a login screen asking for your password — close the window right away.

Attackers are currently abusing a picture file type called SVG.

Unlike normal photos (like JPGs), SVG files contain code. When someone clicks on one, it opens in a web browser and triggers a fake Microsoft login page designed to harvest passwords.

Because email systems view it as "just an image," these attachments frequently sneak past standard spam filters.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲:
• Remember that a picture file should never require a password to view.
• Watch out for attachments ending in .svg (unless you work in graphic design, you almost never need to receive these).
• Ask your IT support to block .svg email attachments across your company.

Has your team seen an increase in sneaky attachment formats lately? Let us know in the comments below!

A quick question for small business owners and managers scrolling today:

When was the last time you checked the age of your team’s laptops?

It’s easy to treat computers like appliances — something you only replace when they completely stop working. But that slow machine your employee is using right now might actually be costing you more than a new one would.

Every morning startup delay, every file loading lag, and every frozen video call eats up minutes throughout the day.

Add that lost time up over a whole year across your team, and it far outweighs the cost of buying a fast, modern replacement.

Plus, there's a major security angle:
As hardware ages, it stops getting vital software and security updates. That means a slow machine quickly becomes a risky machine.

How to handle it without replacing everything at once:
• Use the 3-to-4 year rule as a baseline for replacements.
• Ask your team which computers are causing constant daily headaches.
• Have your IT support team pull a report showing which devices are reaching "End of Life" support.

What's the oldest piece of tech still running in your office? (And be honest—is it due for an upgrade?)
