Good Morning All and Happy Friday! ☀️
It has been a little while since I have been able to send one of these out!
I try to send out safety bulletins as often as possible, to be used both at work and at home!
Keeping you up to date on the latest phishing scams and general online safety knowledge.
I also wanted to direct you to a fun little quiz that's posted on your employee dashboard or directly on our IT website here: https://it.capitalauto.ca/online-safety
It automatically passes you if you reach the 80% marker.
As always, reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns.
Use the new phish button for sketchy emails:

Good Afternoon! ☀️😄
I know it's nice to use the same password for everything, you think of one really strong password and think that's good.
The flaw is that if one of your passwords gets compromised, they can easily access every other site they try if you continue to use the same password over and over again.
So I thought it would be a good time to talk about passwords and some tips/tricks to making your online life just a little more secure!
