| Hi , For years, online attacks went after your computer: viruses, malware, and suspicious downloads. Antivirus stops most of that, so the criminals changed tactics. Today they are not after your computer. They are after your accounts, and they get there by tricking the person at the keyboard. That is actually good news, because a few simple habits from you and your team stop most of these attacks before they start. The whole idea fits in one line: when something feels even a little off, pause for ten seconds and check with us. Six moments worth a ten-second pause | • A login page that bounces you back and asks you to sign in a second time. | | • A screen asking you to click Allow so an app can reach your email or files. | | • A message telling you to enter a code at microsoft.com/devicelogin. | | • A "human check" that asks you to copy your address bar or run a command. | | • Approval prompts that keep buzzing your phone when you did not try to log in. | | • A note from someone you know with an unusual money, login, or gift-card request. | | If something feels off | | Stop. Do not click, approve, or paste. It can wait sixty seconds. | | | Do not delete it. Leave the email, message, or window where it is so we can take a look. | | | Call us. Or send a screenshot. We will tell you in a minute whether it is real. | A few rules that beat almost everything: systech will never ask for your password, never ask you to enter a code at microsoft.com/devicelogin, and never pressure you to act fast. If a message does any of those, it is not us. We have put together a one-page guide that walks through each of these in plain English, with the full story behind every example. It is built to print and keep by your desk, or to share with your team.

We would much rather hear from you ten times for nothing. ✉ Submit a ticket Time-sensitive? Call the helpdesk: 541.696.5555 · Option 1 | Two minutes of friction beats two weeks of cleanup.
