2025-10-01T22:48:08-07:00

Every October, the world reminds us that cybersecurity isn’t just for hoodie-wearing hackers in dark basements—it’s for everyone. Yes, even you, scrolling through this on your office Wi-Fi while ignoring that little red “Update Available” notification. Cybersecurity Awareness Month started in 2004 (back when MySpace was cool) and is all about helping normal people—not just techies—stay safe online. Let’s face it: cybercriminals don’t care if you’re a global law firm or a one-person practice. If you have data, they want it. So here are the big moves you can make this October to protect yourself without turning into a paranoid conspiracy theorist.

Unmasking Email Spoofing

2025-10-01T15:07:30-07:00

Your inbox is the firm’s lobby, and spoofing is the stranger in a colleague’s suit. This two-part guide shows how to spot impostors before they reach your files or your trust account. Part 1 is for busy, non-technical readers: learn in 30 seconds how to match names to real addresses, spot lookalike domains, preview links safely, and reveal hidden senders in Outlook, Gmail, or Apple Mail. Print-ready checklists and the mantra Pause. Preview. Phone. keep it simple. Part 2 dives deeper, explaining how to read email headers, compare fields like From, Reply-To, and Return-Path, and use signals like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. You’ll also find team defenses such as external sender tags, multi-factor authentication, and payment controls that make “verify before you wire” second nature. The result: fewer clicks on bad links and fewer dollars at risk.
