Fake emails that trick your team into clicking dangerous links or revealing passwords.➡️ Common sign: An email that looks like it’s from your bank, vendor, or even your boss.

2. Ransomware

Hackers lock your data and demand payment to release it.➡️ Danger: Even if you pay, you might not get your data back.

3. Weak Passwords

Simple passwords like "123456" or using the same one everywhere.➡️ Hackers can break them in seconds.

4. Outdated Software

Old systems are full of security holes.➡️ If you're not updating regularly, you're leaving the door open.
