I think a lot of businesses still imagine AI use at work looks something like this:

🤖 The company approves one AI tool
🤖 Employees log into that tool
🤖 Everyone uses it exactly as intended

But that’s not what’s happening at all 😅

New research has found that a huge

For years, the advice has been simple: “Be careful what you click on in Google.”

Now we might need to start saying the same thing about AI 🤖

Microsoft has warned that cyber criminals are finding ways to manipulate AI tools into recommending fake software downloads.

The FBI has issued a warning about a new type of phishing attack targeting Microsoft 365 users 😰

And this one is a little different…

Normally with phishing, the attacker tries to steal your password.

This time, they’re trying to steal something called an “OAuth token”.

Where your files are stored shapes how your business runs.

It affects who can access them, how easily your team can work together, and what happens if something goes wrong.

If everything still lives on individual devices, think about what that really means day to day, or when t

Here’s something most businesses don’t think about…

You install a plugin on your website.

It works fine and you trust it.

Maybe it’s been there for years.

Then one day, it updates.

And that update opens the door to an attacker 😱

That’s what’s happened in the

For years, the advice around logins has been the same:

🔒 Make passwords long
🔒 Make them complex
🔒 Don’t reuse them
🔒 Add another layer like a code sent to your phone

It works, but it’s never been simple.

Now, cyber security experts are giving businesses different

This is one of the more interesting cyber attacks I’ve seen recently.

A group (known as UNC6692) has been targeting businesses in a way that feels almost normal.

It starts by flooding your inbox with spam.

Then, shortly after, a message arrives on Microsoft Teams from so

Sometimes, when you’re so focused on not getting caught out by an email scam, you forget that other types of scams exist 📧

And one that’s doing the rounds right now starts with a phone call 📞

Someone calls, sounding confident, maybe a little stressed, and says they can’t

[SystemsIT @Systems_IT]

You open your inbox, and there’s an email saying your photos are about to be deleted 😱

There’s a date, a warning, and a big button telling you to fix it.

That’s the kind of message that makes you stop what you’re doing and pay attention.

And if you use iCloud, you might

There’s a type of cyber attack that doesn’t get talked about much.

And it doesn’t look like an attack.

It looks like a file 📁

Someone sends you a connection file.

You double-click it, and it opens what looks like a normal remote session.

But there’s really a lot

[SystemsIT @Systems_IT]

Most businesses feel like they’d handle a cyber attack if it happened.

But that confidence often comes from assumptions rather than a clear plan.

If you had to recover quickly, contact the right people, and keep things running under pressure, would everything fall into plac

[SystemsIT @Systems_IT]

Are you confident your cyber security would hold up if someone asked you about it?

It’s not something most business owners spend time thinking about.

It tends to come up in the moment. A client asks how their data is protected, a regulator wants more detail, or you hear abo

If you use a Windows PC every day, there’s one thing you probably open without even thinking about it.

File Explorer.

It’s how you find files, move things around, open folders… basically the backbone of getting work done on your computer.

Microsoft isn’t just adding AI features here and there.

It’s buying the companies that already do this stuff really well…

And bringing them straight into its ecosystem 🤖

Recently, it acquired Fintool.

It’s a smaller startup, so this isn’t one of those headline-grabb

If you’ve ever set up a new PC, you’ll know this moment…

You think you’re nearly done, then Windows says it’s “just getting things ready”.

And you’re stuck waiting 😅

Sometimes for quite a while.

But now there’s a small change coming to Windows 11 that could make th

There’s a new Windows feature that makes you go, “Why hasn’t this always been there?” 🤔

It’s a simple little tool called PeekDesktop.

You click on an empty part of your desktop, and all your open windows disappear.

Click again and they all come back.

That’s it. A qui

Ever had a nagging feeling that information online had changed?

You have no proof, but you’re sure it didn’t say that before 🤨

That’s the kind of situation the Wayback Machine was built for.

It’s run by the Internet Archive, and it acts like a record of the web over ti

Cyber security often sounds like a technology problem.

But in many cases, it starts with everyday actions. A login used in the wrong place, a message that looks genuine, or access that hasn’t been reviewed in a while.

These are small moments, but they can have a big impact

[SystemsIT @Systems_IT]

There are some things in technology that people rarely complain about out loud…

But they notice them every single day 😫

File Explorer in Windows is a good example of that.

It’s one of the most used parts of Windows 11, yet it’s also one of those tools that can feel a l

[SystemsIT @Systems_IT]

There’s been a long-running frustration with Windows that you’ll recognise…

You’re in the middle of something important, you go to shut down your laptop, and suddenly it decides now is the perfect time to install updates 😅

That experience has shaped how a lot of people fe
