What exactly does the bot have access to after you install it?
Nobody reads that screen. So we filmed it.
It's Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Instead of thirty days of "use a strong password," we're running Be Like Bob all October: short videos about the ways a small business actually gets compromised.
No hacker in this one.
Meet Bob. HVAC guy. Busy month. An AI assistant pops up on his work computer offering to handle his scheduling and his email. He installs it. Takes a minute.
Then watch what it asks for.
Every line scrolling past is copied straight off a real permission screen. We didn't write a word of it.
It's not just what the bot can do on that computer. It's where your stuff ends up. Your customer list. Your invoices. Your email. One line says it "can share your name, contacts, files and info you might find sensitive."
And there's a mode you can switch on that goes further. Their words: it "has access to the same sites you do, including the ones you're signed into," and it "signs you in to sites."
You turn that one on yourself. Worth reading twice first, because the sites you're signed into include your bank, your payroll and every vendor portal you use.
He clicked yes on a Tuesday like any of us would. But Bob's the admin, not because anybody trained him, because nobody else was doing it. So that one yes covered every computer in the shop.
No firewall got touched. Nobody picked a lock. The data walked out the front door with permission.
Install AI. We're not telling you not to, we sell it. Just protect your data while you do it.
Be like Bob and call us before you install the next one.
