At least one of your team's work emails is probably already in a leaked password list.
Go to haveibeenpwned.com and check. It's free. Anything that shows up, change that
password now and anywhere else you reused it. Then ask your IT provider about dark
web monitoring.

How to send sensitive files safely:
When you email a sensitive file, a contract, a spreadsheet of customer data, a scan of
someone's ID, that file is now sitting in an inbox you don't control, and it stays there.
Regular email wasn't built to be private. The attachment can be forwarded to anyone,
it sits in the recipient's inbox forever, and if you fat-finger the address, it's gone to a stranger. None of that matters for trivial stuff, but for a contract or customer data it's worth two extra minutes to send it properly.
A better way to send sensitive files:
�� Share a link instead of attaching the file. In OneDrive, Google Drive, or Dropbox,
you can send a link that only the person you name can open, and switch it off
afterward.
�� Set the link to expire, so access doesn't live forever.
�� For the really sensitive stuff, password-protect the file or use a proper secure
transfer tool, and send the password by text, not in the same email.
If you email contracts, invoices, or client data as attachments, that's the first habit to
change.

If your guests, your staff's personal phones, and your business computers all connect
to the same wifi, they can all reach each other.
Everything on one network can talk to everything else on it. So a guest's malware
infected laptop, or a cheap smart camera with a known flaw, sits on the same network
as the computer running your accounts. If an attacker gets into the weak device, your
business machines are right there next to it.
The fix is to split your network:
�� Put guests on a separate "Guest" wifi. Most business routers can do this in a
couple of clicks, and it keeps visitors off your main network.
�� Put smart devices (cameras, TVs, thermostats, smart plugs) on their own network
too. They're often the weakest, least-updated things you own.
�� Keep your actual work computers and servers on their own network, away from
both.
Your IT provider can set this up, and on a lot of routers it's a built-in feature you're
not using yet. Ask them which network your smart devices are on right now.

Using the same password twice means a breach at some site you forgot about can
get someone into your business email. Attackers take leaked passwords and try them
everywhere automatically. A strong password doesn't help if you reused it. Use a
password manager and turn on MFA.
