Happy Ransom Awareness Month! This doesn\’t seem like a month you would like to celebrate but no worries, as a business owner we hope you\’ll find some security with the tools and knowledge that we have to share with you and your employees.

Did you know that phishing is still the #1 threat action and is used in social media-related attacks? Many of your users are active on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. The bad guys use these platforms to scrape profile information of your users and organization to create highly targeted spear phishing campaigns in an attempt to hijack accounts, damage your organization’s reputation, or gain access to your network.
