Here is our weekly tech tips video about – Microsoft Blocks 1000 Malicious Emails a second
Microsoft’s just revealed it blocked more than 35.7 billion malicious emails last year.
That’s about 1,000 emails every single second.
It also foiled 9.6 billion attempted malware attacks. This is where cybercriminals try to fool you into clicking a link that installs malicious software on your device or network.
Plus, it blocked 25.6 billion attempts at getting into accounts by simply guessing the login details. These are called brute force attacks.
Microsoft says attackers still use these simple tactics because not enough businesses take their security seriously.
So how can you best protect your business?
There are many protections. The simplest is to introduce multi-factor authentication for all accounts your staff use.
This is where you generate or receive a code on another device. It’s very effective at making sure only the right people access the right accounts.

“Our email wasn’t performing very well so we asked Hamilton Systems to take a look & Carl proposed to migrate us to MS Exchange.
Carl was very helpful throughout & the migration went very well.
He was on hand to sort out any teething issues, taking calls early morning & into the night, to ensure we were up & running smoothly.
Would recommend for knowledge, attention to detail & great customer service.”
