And the average cost of a successful breach?  Nearly $1 million .   We just published a blog breaking down exactly how hackers target CPA firms in April — and more importantly, what you can do about it before  it's  too late.   If  you're  an accounting professional or you trust a CPA firm with your business finances, this is a must-read right now.   👉 Read it here:  https://centurygroup.net/is-your-cpa-firm-a-sitting-duck-the-cyber-threats-that-peak-every-april...

Beware of “AI” tools that sound too good to be true — because some  literally are !   Hackers are disguising malware as cool new “AI” apps (think fake ChatGPT or PDF helpers). You install it thinking  it’s  a time-saver… but  it’s   actually stealing  data in the background.   Before downloading anything “AI-powered”:   Check the official site   Look at reviews   Ask IT if it’s approved   If it looks shady, it probably AI- n’t  safe.    Learn more:  https://bit.ly/3ZL7Mmt   #CyberAwareness   #AITools   #MalwareAlert   #MSP   #TechTips   #CenturySolutionsGroup   #CyberSafe
