87% of Businesses reported they had been victim to over two successful cyber attacks in the last year!   Scary stat: 87% of businesses were hit by this in the last year!   You may think that cyber-attacks only happen to large corporations.

      This is the latest trend in phishing attacks   Have you heard the saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words"? It seems cybercriminals have too, and they're using it to their advantage.    In a new twist on phishing campaigns, cybercriminals are luring victims to click on images rather than downloading malicious files or clicking suspicious links.    Let's dive into the warning signs, so you can keep your business safe from these sneaky attacks.   First things first, what's the big deal about clicking on an image? It might be promoting a killer deal or a one-time offer.   But when you click on the image, you don’t go to the real website. Instead, it’s a fake site designed to steal your personal information.   Imagine being lured in by a cute cat photo only to find out that Mr. Whiskers was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing! Not so cute anymore, right?   How can you tell if an image is part of a phishing campaign? Here...

Microsoft Teams Introduces Spatial Audio A downside to Microsoft Teams meetings is wanting to experience the conversation as if you were all in the same room. Get ready... as Microsoft is about to turn your audio world upside down. It's introducing Spatial Audio, the next-generation immersive soundscape for Teams meetings. With either a wired stereo headset or built-in stereo speakers, this new feature could breathe new life into your virtual meetings. Imagine this: each voice in your meeting is spatialised across the visual stage in Gallery view. That means it comes from a specific location, just the same as if you were having a meeting with someone sat to your left, and someone else to your right. It's like each attendee has their own spot on the stage, making conversations feel more natural and easier to follow, especially when multiple people are speaking at once. Turning on Spatial Audio is easy. Before the meeting: Choose a wired stereo headset or built-in stereo speakers...
