🚨 Spyware is on the rise – Even tech giants like Google are raising the alarm about the “real-world harm” it can cause. 🚨 But what is spyware, and how can you protect your business from it? 🕵️♂️ What is Spyware? Spyware is malicious software that secretly installs itself on your device. It can steal sensitive info like passwords, banking details, and even data from your camera and microphone. It’s sneaky and hard to detect – sometimes you don’t even need to click a link to get infected. 📡 Small Businesses Are at Risk Too! Spyware like Pegasus and Predator doesn’t just target large organizations. Small businesses are at risk, too. Staying aware and proactive is key to safeguarding your devices. 🔐 How to Protect Yourself: ✅ Keep systems updated with the latest security patches ✅ Use reputable security software ✅ Avoid suspicious links and untrusted downloads ✅ Provide your team with regular security awareness training If your device starts acting strangely or slowing down, it could be a sign of spyware. VSL Computers can help you investigate and secure your systems. Let’s keep your business safe! #CyberSecurity #Spyware #StaySafe #SmallBusinessSecurity #VSLComputers

🚨 Beware of the latest phishing scam: “Quishing 2.0” 🚨 Scammers are getting more creative, and this time they’re targeting you with QR codes. Here’s how it works: 📧 You receive an email that looks legitimate, with a PDF attachment containing a QR code. 📲 Scan the code, and it takes you to a fake website—often mimicking a Microsoft 365 login page—where you unknowingly hand over your credentials. 🔍 The tricky part? These emails use trusted services like SharePoint or me-QR. com, helping them bypass security filters. Once scanned, though, you’re redirected to a malicious site. 💡 What can you do? Train your team to be skeptical of QR codes in emails. Regular cyber security awareness can keep your business one step ahead. Need help with training or strengthening your defenses? My team is here to support you. Let’s talk! #Quishing #QRCodes #CyberSecurity #PhishingPrevention #BusinessSafety
