IT Security Tip #1: This will SHOCK you about bank fraud on business accounts

Did you know your COMPANY’S bank account doesn’t enjoy the same protections as a personal bank account? For example, if a hacker takes money from your business account, the bank is NOT responsible for getting your money back. (Don’t believe me? Go ask your bank what their policy is on refunding you money stolen from your account!) Many people think FDIC protects you from fraud; it doesn’t. It protects you from bank insolvency, NOT fraud.

Quick Tip: Set up e-mail alerts on your account so you are notified any time money is withdrawn from your account. The FASTER you catch fraudulent activity, the better your chances are of keeping your money. If you contact the bank IMMEDIATELY, you have a very high probability of foiling a hacker’s attack.

Sick of getting email alerts?

If you get a million emails a day and get sick of seeing that little pop up in the bottom-right corner previewing the email’s contents, there is a way to turn that junk off! Simply open Outlook and go to File>Options>Mail. From there you can disable the “Display a Desktop Alert” option!
