Cybercrime refers to criminal activity that is carried out using the internet or other digital communication technologies. It includes a range of illegal activities such as hacking, phishing, identity theft, and fraud.
Two-factor authentication is a security measure that requires users to provide two forms of identification to access their accounts. This provides an extra layer of security and helps prevent unauthorized access to your accounts. Computer Center offers two-factor authentication as part of its services to help protect your business from cyber threats.
Email security has shifted significantly, and the changes affect every business that sends or receives email. The biggest one came in early 2024, when Google and Yahoo introduced new requirements for anyone sending email to their users, with the goal of making inboxes safer and less cluttered with spam. As of late 2025 these rules are fully enforced, and messages that aren't properly authenticated can be temporarily or permanently rejected.
In practical terms, your business's email now needs three behind-the-scenes protections in place: SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. Together these help stop scammers from impersonating a legitimate domain to send spam or fraudulent messages — verifying that an email genuinely came from you and hasn't been forged. Businesses sending larger volumes also need to keep spam complaints low and let recipients unsubscribe with a single click.
The driving force behind these changes is the rapid rise of AI-generated email attacks, which have made fraudulent messages far more convincing than they used to be. If you aren't sure whether your domain is set up correctly, Computer Center can review your email configuration, get SPF, DKIM, and DMARC in place, and make sure your messages keep reaching the inbox while keeping impostors out.
A good spam filter is one of the most important defenses your business can have, because the overwhelming majority of cyberattacks start with a single malicious email. Over 90% of cyberattacks begin with phishing — fraudulent messages designed to trick you or an employee into clicking a bad link, giving up a password, or sending money to a scammer.
Phishing has also gotten much harder to spot. Attackers now use AI to gather details from company websites and social media and craft grammatically perfect, personalized messages that reference real projects, colleagues, and business relationships — so the old advice to "watch for bad grammar" no longer works. Many of these attacks target businesses specifically by impersonating an executive or vendor, and the losses add up fast: around 64% of U.S. companies faced a business email compromise scam in 2024, with average losses near $150,000 each.
A modern spam filter catches the vast majority of these threats before they ever reach an inbox, dramatically reducing the chance that one slips through to your team. Computer Center can set up and manage email filtering for your business, so dangerous messages are stopped at the door instead of landing in front of your staff.
