The one Outlook rule you need to set to save yourself from awkward conversations.

It's called "delay delivery." You set it once in classic Outlook, and from that point on every email you send sits in your Outbox for a specific time (that you set) before it leaves.

If you spot a typo, realize you sent the wrong attachment, or wrote something in frustration you wish you hadn't, you have can a standard 2-minute delay to give you enough time to stop it.

Just delete the email from your Outbox before the timer runs out.

To set it up in classic Outlook:

1. Go to File > Manage Rules & Alerts

2. Click "New Rule" and pick "Apply rule on messages I send"

3. Skip past the conditions so it applies to every email

4. Check "defer delivery by a number of minutes" and set it to 2

5. Save the rule

This is better than Outlook's built-in "Recall" feature, because it works every single time.

Pay attention to this fake “Microsoft” scam.

If an email asks you to enter a verification code on Microsoft's login page, don't enter the code.

That request is the giveaway for a phishing technique called device code phishing, which has hit over 340 organizations across the US, Canada, and Europe since February.

What makes this attack dangerous is that it bypasses Multi-Factor Authentication entirely, even strong MFA.

The attacker is tricking you into authorizing their device into your Microsoft 365 tenant.

You get an email about a shared SharePoint document, a payroll bonus PDF, or a meeting invitation from someone who looks legitimate.

The link sends you to login.microsoftonline.com, which is the real Microsoft login page.

The page asks you to type in a short verification code that was included in the email. You enter it and move on with your day.

But what you did was approve the attacker's device into your Microsoft 365 environment.

They now have a valid access token tied to your account.

They can read your email, download your files, and set up mailbox forwarding rules without ever needing your password again.

A turnkey phishing kit called EvilTokens started selling on Telegram in February 2026, which means even low-skill attackers can run these campaigns at scale.

To shut this attack down inside your business:

▶️ Block device code authentication flow in Entra ID for users who don't need it.

This protocol was designed for devices with lim

If a website ever tells you to press Windows Key + R, close the tab.

That single instruction is the giveaway for a fast-growing scam called ClickFix, which has been behind a wave of infostealer infections all year.

An infostealer is malware that scrapes every saved password, browser cookie, session token, and stored credit card...

You click a Google result that takes you to a hacked website.

A fake CAPTCHA pops up and tells you to press Windows Key + R, then Ctrl + V, then Enter to verify you're human.

The second you hit Enter, you've installed malware on your own machine.

This attack slips past most security tools because you run the command yourself.

No file was downloaded, so antivirus has nothing to scan.

The browser shows no warning.

From the operating system's perspective, you typed a command into a Windows utility, the same as any admin doing real work.

A few things you can do this week:

▶️ Tell your team that if any website prompts the user to press Win+R or paste something into the Run box, they should close the tab and report it.

▶️ Restrict PowerShell for non-IT staff using AppLocker or Windows Defender Application Control. Most office employees have no work reason to run PowerShell scripts.

▶️ Make sure your endpoint protection is doing behavioral monitoring and not just signature scanning. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and most modern EDR tools have detection rules specifically for this attack chain.

There's no shame in falling

If you run a business, an employee can easily email your client list to their personal account, whether by accident or on purpose.

Most companies just trust their staff not to do this.

But you need a technical rule that stops sensitive data from leaving your network in the first place.

If you use Microsoft 365, you can use a tool called Microsoft Purview to set up Data Loss Prevention rules.

When you turn this on, the system scans every outgoing email, Teams messages, SharePoint/OneDrive files, endpoint devices, browser activity, and Microsoft 365 Copilot prompts before processing.

If it detects sensitive information like Social Security numbers, credit card details, or specific internal company tags, it physically blocks the email.

You do not have to monitor employees manually.

Software companies are changing their terms of service to train their AI on your internal company data.

If you use tools like HubSpot, Salesforce, QuickBooks, or Asana, you need to run a privacy audit this week.

The idea that your data will be leaked to the public is a bit overstated. Most of these platforms anonymize the information�

However, they are still feeding your real business data into their external AI models.

Getting them to stop is not always a simple toggle switch in your account settings.

Many of these platforms force you to submit a formal support ticket or email request to opt out.

And even when you do, it does not retroactively remove the historical data they already grabbed.

To protect your information, prioritize enterprise software plans that include a strict "Do Not Train" clause in the contract.

You can also use automated privacy tools to enforce these rules across your entire software stack instead of doing it manually.

If you or your employees use large or multiple monitors, you are probably wasting time organizing your screen.

Every day, people spend an annoying amount of time dragging, resizing, and overlapping windows just to get their email, web browser, and company chat visible at the same time.

The default Windows snapping feature is okay, but it only splits your screen into basic halves or quarters.

There is a much better way to handle this.

You can download a free, official Microsoft app called PowerToys.

Inside PowerToys, there is a specific tool called FancyZones.

It lets you draw a custom, invisible grid on your monitors. You can make the zones any exact size or shape you want.

Once your grid is set up, you just hold the Shift key and drag a program into one of your zones. It instantly snaps to the exact position you created.

You can build a layout with your calendar tucked in a small corner, your main work software dead center, and your chat app on the far right.

Give it a try if you need an extra boost in productivity ??

Subdomains can be a cybersecurity risk.

If you use subdomains, you might be accidentally giving hackers permission to use your exact website address.

Think about the temporary marketing campaigns, event pages, or third-party software portals you set up in the past.

Usually, companies create a custom web link for these projects, like promo.yourcompany.com

To make it work, that custom link is connected to an external hosting service.

When the project ends, you probably cancel the external hosting subscription to save money.

But the connection rule in your website settings is almost never deleted.
This creates a massive blind spot.

Attackers constantly scan the internet for these abandoned connections.

When they find one, they go to that exact hosting company and register the account name you used to have.

Because your website is still pointing there, the attacker instantly takes control of your official custom link.

They can now send phishing emails to your clients or host scam pages that look completely real.

Your clients will trust the link because it literally uses your actual company name.

If you haven�t done this yet, you need to audit your website DNS records as soon as possible.

Delete any custom links pointing to software or services your business no longer uses.

Don�t treat Microsoft OneDrive or Google Drive as a guaranteed backup.

Many people assume that if their network gets hit by ransomware, they can just log into their cloud account and restore an older version of their files.

The problem is that modern ransomware can sync encrypted files to your cloud account, overwriting clean versions and potentially targeting version history or recycle bin contents before you even realize you have been attacked.

When malicious software reaches a synced laptop, the damage does not stay on that single device.

Because your cloud drive is designed to sync changes instantly, the system automatically uploads those locked, encrypted files straight into your company cloud.

It directly overwrites your clean data.

Cloud storage connects your data, without isolating it.

To have a higher level of security, you need a separate backup system that is completely offline or locked down.

You need an isolated copy of your files that a compromised network account cannot reach, alter, or delete.

You waste time receiving, configuring, and shipping laptops to remote employees.

When hiring remote staff, the traditional IT process requires shipping new hardware to a central office, manually installing software, configuring security settings, and shipping the device a second time to the employee.

These delays onboarding and doubles shipping costs.

Microsoft 365 Business Premium includes Windows Autopilot.

You purchase hardware from a vendor and instruct them to ship it directly to the new employee.

When the employee powers on the device, connects to Wi-Fi, and enters their company email address, Autopilot automatically connects to your Microsoft tenant.

It applies your specific security policies, installs required applications, and configures the desktop environment automatically.

The device is fully configured for business use without an IT administrator ever physically touching the hardware.

If you need help doing this for your business, comment below with “configure”.

Your technology should elevate your business, not weigh it down. Eliminate interruptions and downtime, increase productivity, cut costs, protect your business, and secure your network.
