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. But unfortunately, that's not the case.    According to a recent report, almost two-thirds of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) suffered at least one cyber attack over the past year. That's a staggering number, and it should serve as a wake-up call for businesses everywhere.   But it gets worse.    More and more businesses are also experiencing repeat attacks, with 87% reporting at least two successful attacks over the past year.

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 are some warning signs to look o

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
