Cybersecurity Update: Are You Protected Where It Counts?
The latest wave of cyber threats is hitting Microsoft 365 users hard. Whether you’re working from the office or remotely, your team’s login details, files, and emails are more valuable than ever—to you and to attackers.
At Computer Services Ltd, we help local businesses stay ahead of the game. Here’s what you need to know right now to keep your business safe.
1. DNS Security: Stopping Threats Before They Reach You
DNS (Domain Name System) is how your devices find websites—but attackers use it too. Without protection, your team could be sent to fake sites that look real, tricking them into handing over login details or downloading malware.
We recommend:
- Blocking malicious sites automatically with DNS filtering
- Extending protection to remote workers and mobile users
- Monitoring DNS activity for suspicious behaviour
2. Identity Attacks Are on the Rise
These days, hackers aren’t “hacking”—they’re logging in using stolen usernames and passwords. That’s why modern security focuses on detecting and stopping unusual sign-ins and credential misuse.
What we set up for clients:
- Identity monitoring for unusual logins and device activity
- Real-time alerts if something looks wrong
- Blocking automated login attempts
3. Microsoft 365 Logins: Your First Line of Defence
Your Microsoft 365 login gives access to your emails, documents, Teams chats, and more. It’s the key to your digital business—and it needs to be protected.
Our best practices:
- Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for all users
- Disable outdated sign-in methods
- Monitor for risky sign-in behaviour
4. Latest Scams: Fake OneDrive and SharePoint Emails
Right now, fake file-sharing emails are everywhere. They look like someone’s shared a document via OneDrive or SharePoint—but the link takes you to a fake Microsoft login page designed to steal your password.
Here’s how to stay safe:
- Be cautious with unexpected file share links
- Never enter your password unless you're sure the site is legitimate
- Call us if you're unsure—we're happy to help
We’ve Got Your Back
You don’t need to understand all the technical details—that’s what we’re here for. We’ll make sure your business is protected, your logins are secure, and your team knows what to look out for.
