October was National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a time when the IRS and its Security Summit partners remind us about best practices for protecting personal information. For example, use a virtual private network when connecting to public Wi‑Fi. Also, beware of unsolicited emails and texts that ask for tax or financial information. For businesses, it’s important to teach employees how to avoid falling for phishing schemes. Require them to use strong passwords. Add an extra layer of security with multi-factor authentication and keep business software updated. Here’s more about cybersecurity from the IRS: http://bit.ly/4o0NFu7.
