Working from home? Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a must! MFA requires two or more verification methods to access your accounts, such as a password and a code sent to your phone.

With cyber threats on the rise, MFA adds an extra layer of security, ensuring your data remains protected even if your password is compromised. Don’t rely on passwords alone – enhance your security with MFA.

Stay secure, stay protected!

With remote work becoming the norm, phishing attacks are on the rise. Cybercriminals are targeting remote workers with deceptive emails and messages to steal sensitive information. Here’s how you can protect yourself:

1. 𝗕𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀: Don’t click on links or download attachments from unknown sources.

2. 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿: Double-check the sender’s email address and look for signs of phishing.

3. 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶-𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗠𝗙𝗔): Add an extra layer of security to your accounts.

4. 𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳: Stay informed about the latest phishing tactics and how to spot them.

5. 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸: Ensure your home Wi-Fi is protected with a strong password and encryption.

By staying vigilant and informed, you can protect your data and keep your remote work environment secure.

The global IT outage that hit around 3PM Friday afternoon continues to cause challenges for many businesses.

Be assured that this does not appear to be a cyber attack of any kind, this is a software update from a 3rd Party Security Provider affecting Windows Computers running this software (Crowd Strike).

Wyntec customer systems are not directly affected by this as we do use the 3rd Party tool as part of our services. We do understand that some of your cloud platforms are affected.

Keep in contact with the Wybtec team and we can provide updates as we get them for any platforms that are having issues.
