When was the last time you changed your passwords?

Smart IT Solutions for Ann Arbor Area Businesses – Create Unique Passwords!

It’s easy to just reuse the same password for every single account. People do this in their business as well as their personal lives. Sure, that password could be fifteen characters long – but if you’ve used it for every account, it only needs to be compromised once. Recently thousands of Disney+ subscribers have had their accounts compromised and taken over by hackers simply because they used an already compromised password! Now you have to wonder how many of those people used that same password for their business or at work?

Double Check Your Emails!

Just because the name looks “familiar” that doesn’t mean it’s from someone you know. Hackers and scammers are very clever and use any number of schemes to cloak their identities to make them look like someone else. That email that looks like it could be from a client or relative, it could well be a fake account designed to get you to open the email and click on a link. If you’re not sure – ask. If it’s a business client email – email that client directly and ask if they sent you that message.
