Android is closing a route scammers use to steal passcodes

Google is rolling out new Android protections. Apps can no longer quietly turn on call forwarding, which scammers use to redirect calls and steal one-time passcodes to take over accounts. Android also warns you if someone talks you into typing a forwarding code on the dial pad.

Google Messages is also getting an optional Enhanced protection mode that checks conversations with unknown senders and unfamiliar links. It is switched off until you turn it on, so it will not help unless you do.

Keep your system and apps up to date, and look for Enhanced protection once it reaches your phone. Never type a code into your dial pad because a caller asks. If a message or call asks for account details, hang up and contact your bank on its official number.

Myth: you need a website before you can have business email. In fact, you need a domain, because the part after the @ is your domain. A website is not required, though the two work well together.

A domain is your address on the internet, and hosting is the place your website lives. For a normal business website you need both, and the domain should be registered in your business's name. We have put together a plain guide to how they differ and what to check before you buy.

A website is not a once-off expense. Like a shop front, it needs looking after to keep working for you. Planning for that early saves surprises later.
