Tax Season: A dangerous time for small business

2/23/2017

 

Do you own/operate an accounting firm, or do you work with one to handle your taxes?

Small businesses are becoming a more lucrative target for Cyber scams these days, for a myriad of reasons:
  • Most companies that are very small, <50, might not have the resources to have a full-time IT specialist.
  • Without a dedicated IT person more items are purchases and used in a 'Turn it on and Forget' mentality.
  • If they do use an IT Firm for the initial setup, do they have them come back and perform security patches on their devices, etc for new threats?
  • They may have a local IT specialist they are using (family friend, someone's relative) that may know how to set things up, but may not be up to date on the recent threats. 
  • Your local IT support could get compromised on their personal computers, spilling the details of how they 'remotely' help you!

Ok, so now you have me worried, what do I do!!
