  New phishing scam is smarter than ever… here’s how to protect your business Microsoft is warning business owners about a new type of phishing scam (where cyber criminals pose as a trusted source to trick you into giving away login info), which uses popular cloud services like SharePoint and OneDrive. Although these platforms are usually safe, scammers have figured out how to trick privacy settings to get past security checks. The scammers hack your cloud storage by stealing your login details or buying them on the black market. Once they get inside, they upload a file that is designed to look authentic – like a fake Microsoft 365 login page. They set the file to “view-only” or limit access to specific people, such as you and your team. Opening these files or following any links inside the emails could cause serious damage to your business. Scammers can use your information to access your systems, or they can install malware (malicious software) that lets them cause disruption and...

                      Start it on your phone… finish it on your PC? Microsoft is once again finding ways to make life easier for your business with Windows 11. If you ever work on your phone as well as your PC, you’re going to love the new “Hand Off” feature that’s being tested right now. The idea is this: Let’s say you’re in a meeting or on the move. And you start working on something in Microsoft Word or another app on your phone. Once you get back to your PC, a notification will pop up asking if you want to keep working on the document – allowing you to switch between devices seamlessly. This feature is made possible through OneDrive’s syncing function. It’s already compatible with Android phones, and it’s likely to work for iPhones too, although that’s not yet been confirmed. Being able to jump between devices without losing track of work could be a great benefit, especially if your team works remotely. Although it hasn’t been r...

        6G Unleashed: The Future of Connectivity is Here What is 6G? 6G refers to the sixth generation of mobile network technology, expected to succeed 5G by the 2030s. While still in its conceptual phase, 6G promises unprecedented capabilities, including terabit-per-second speeds, near-zero latency, and seamless integration with advanced technologies like AI, IoT, and holography. Why is 6G a Big Deal? Unimaginable Speed 6G could offer speeds up to  1,000 times faster than 5G , potentially reaching 1 Tbps. This will enable instantaneous downloads of massive files, real-time data sharing, and high-quality streaming of immersive content like 16K video and virtual reality. Ultra-Low Latency Latency in 6G is expected to be less than  1 millisecond , making interactions nearly instantaneous. This is critical for applications like self-driving cars, remote surgery, and gaming. ...

                      If it ain’t broke… Windows update makes signing out simple again   Microsoft recently updated the Windows Start menu, sparking a bit of controversy. Here’s what happened: in an attempt to streamline the menu, Microsoft grouped related settings together and moved the “Sign Out” option into a three-dot submenu. This change left many users scratching their heads as they tried to log out of their accounts. Fortunately, Microsoft listened to the feedback and is now testing an update to restore the sign-out button to its original, more accessible location. This update is especially helpful for teams that rely on multiple profiles on one computer, making it easier to switch between accounts. And it’s just one of several improvements Microsoft is rolling out as part of a broader update to Windows 11. Other new features include media controls on the lock screen for music and videos, plus the ability to sh...

                              Beware this malware: It “annoys” you into handing over login details How cautious are you and your team with online security? You know about phishing scams, dodgy downloads, and not clicking suspicious links, right? But an even sneakier new malware (that’s malicious software) wants to frustrate you into giving up your Google login details. The malware doesn’t have a catchy name yet, but it’s part of a larger threat known as “Amadey”, and it’s been on the rise since August. It forces your PC into something called “kiosk mode” (a setting often used on public computers that only lets you access one window). This allows it to lock your browser in full screen mode, hiding all your usual navigation buttons like the address bar and menus. Then you get sent to a fake Google password reset page. Normally, you’d just hit the Esc or F11 keys to get out of full screen mode, right? Well, not this...
