From May 5, 2025, Microsoft will enforce stricter email authentication requirements (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) for domains sending over 5,000 emails per day to Outlook, Hotmail, and Live.com addresses. Failure to comply may result in emails being sent directly to Junk folders, significantly impacting deliverability and trust.
What does this mean? ✅ SPF: Confirms which IPs can send emails for your domain. ✅ DKIM: Digitally signs emails to verify authenticity. ✅ DMARC: Ensures emails align with SPF/DKIM and defines actions on failures.

Smishing (SMS phishing) and message spoofing attacks are on the rise—and your mobile phone could be the target.
What is Smishing? Smishing combines SMS (text messaging) and phishing, where cybercriminals use convincing text messages to trick you into harmful actions, such as: 1️⃣ Clicking malicious links 2️⃣ Submitting sensitive personal information 3️⃣ Downloading malware 4️⃣ Calling fake customer support numbers 5️⃣ Buying gift cards 6️⃣ Sharing two-factor authentication (2FA) codes
Message Spoofing: Hackers often mimic trusted phone numbers, making it appear as if messages come from legitimate sources, creating further risk.
How to Protect Yourself: ❌ Don’t click on unexpected or unsolicited links. ❌ Never respond or share sensitive details via text. ❌ Be wary of messages that seem urgent or demand immediate action. ❌ If unsure, verify authenticity directly with the sender through official channels.
Recent reports reveal that Australian small businesses have suffered over $25 million in losses due to scams from 2023 to 2024. The most damaging were investment scams and false billing, accounting for more than $7 million in 2024 alone.
