Imagine this: one wrong click in an email, and everything grinds to a halt. Your customer data is stolen, your files are locked until you pay a ransom, or your system is completely down. Sadly, this isn’t just a scary story – it happens to businesses in St. Louis all too often. Why? Because most cyberattacks start with something as simple and familiar as your email inbox.
The Everyday Threat of Email
As a business owner, you and your team use email constantly. Bills, client messages, project updates…it all flows through your inbox. The more you rely on email, the higher the chance of someone accidentally clicking something they shouldn’t. Let’s face it, those scammers are getting sneakier!
Types of Attacks to Watch For
Phishing: Those fake emails that pretend to be your bank, a software company, even someone you work with. They’re designed to trick you into giving up passwords or clicking dangerous links.
Malware: Think of this as nasty software that sneaks into your system. It can hide in an attachment or a link, then spread like a virus.
Ransomware: This is the really scary one. It locks up all your important files and the attackers demand a huge payment to unlock them.
