Never let the boss break protocol! Your business might depend on it!

In this episode of Techcess, I'm here to introduce our two-part series on email hijacking and its impact on businesses.  I'll be emphasizing the importance of storytelling to effectively convey the dangers of email hacking. Part one of the story follows a character named David who makes a very alarming discovery when a supplier contacts him over an unpaid bill... Don't miss out on this gripping tale of cybercrime and its consequences.

"Email Hijack" book!

The episode is the first part of a two-part series that delves into the m3 Networks book "Email Hijack," which addresses the alarming issue of hackers infiltrating email accounts to steal from business bank accounts. 

I'm Mark Riddell. And as the host of the show, it's my hope that every business, including yours, the Techcess listener's, is aware of the constant threat of attack from hackers that you face. 

It's also my aim to raise awareness about this issue and provide listeners with information on how to protect themselves and their businesses.

The moral of the story...

Overall, this episode highlights the risks associated with neglecting email security and serves as a reminder that businesses should not assume they are immune to cyber attacks.

It is essential to prioritise and invest in cybersecurity measures to safeguard sensitive information and prevent potential breaches. There are worse things you could do today than send a link to this episode in the direction of whomever makes the decisions around your IT.
