NOCout Report 034: Vacation-Proof Your Email
by Jon Lober | NOC Technology
Don't leave for vacation with the [virtual] back door unlocked.
Leaving for a hard-earned summer vacation? Congrats, and we're totally not jealous.
Before you leave, we know you have a long to-do list, but here's just one more thing to add: be sure to leave your email accounts locked up. We're going beyond passwords to the little details that hackers can use to sneak into your accounts.
Just a quick refresher— what is email phishing? Phishing is a type of cyberattack where attackers try to trick you into giving away sensitive information—like passwords, credit card numbers, or even access to your business’s network— by pretending to be someone you trust . These emails often look like they’re from legitimate companies, like your bank, a well-known retailer, or even someone within your own organization. The goal? To get you to click on a malicious link or download an attachment that can compromise your system. Sometimes, the emails are obvious fakes, but other times, they can be extremely convincing, making it crucial to stay vigilant.
Looking for weak points could save your business.
