2). DATA BREACH: 2FA Security Codes leaked for millions of users. A sensitive 2FA SMS Database has been left totally unprotected, no password whatsoever, despite the database being internet facing leaving millions of Google, WhatsApp & Facebook users (Most of us!) sensitive data available to anyone who knew the IP Address. The breach first identified by a researcher has since been secured.

Has your SME adopted 2FA? Its an interesting dilemma, I myself have 2FA Enabled on my accounts. I look at it as an extra layer and anything that slows down and Hacker or Scammer for me is good!

INVESTIGATIONS 2024:

1. THE SMALL BUSINESS LOAN SCAM This model of the Small Business Loan Scam started during the Covid Pandemic and true to form the Scammers were offering “Guaranteed” Small Business Loans. Well, I have to report that the Business Loan Scam is rearing its ugly head. Register Free to read the full Report

2. PHISHING: The Sextortion scam as it is termed, has raised its ugly head again with a refined Scam for 2024. I first wrote about this nearly six years ago after I received a flurry of emails with the standard copy & paste text. Most Small Businesses/ SMEs ignore these threats as not being relevant to business but they would be wrong! Register Free to read the full Report
