Some IT #humour to start the week 😅

Cyber risk is business risk 🚨

#Cyber risk should no longer be viewed as an ‘IT problem’.

Cyber incidents can lead #businesses to financial losses, reputational damage, legal issues and even closures - why take the risk?

The best choice, tbh.

How do #criminals use #virtualmeeting platforms to conduct #scams? 💻

1. Compromise an employer's email
2. Request employees to participate in virtual meeting
3. Insert a picture of employer and claim video/audio not working
4. Request money transfers or sensitive information

[Synchroworks Consulting @Synchroworks]

Since the shift to #remotework in 2020, the @FBI has received an increase in complaints involving the use of #virtualmeeting #scams.

When participating in virtual meetings, look out for hyperlinks that contain spelling errors, spoofed email addresses, or suspicious requests.

[Synchroworks Consulting @Synchroworks]

Why are #CEO scams so successful?

Because most #employees are reluctant to question a request from their CEO and will act immediately, not giving themselves enough time to examine the email closely.
