Common threats to Office 365 accounts
Phishing attacks
Phishing is one of the most common methods used by cybercriminals to steal login credentials. By sending fake emails that appear to come from trusted sources, they try to trick users into revealing their passwords.
Unauthorized access
With weak passwords or a lack of security protocols, unauthorized people can easily gain access to sensitive information. This can lead to confidential data leaking or malware being installed on your system.
Steps to improve security
Protecting your Office 365 account doesn't have to be complicated. Here are some effective measures you can take:
Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring additional verification upon login. This can be in the form of a code sent to your mobile phone or a biometric verification.
Use strong passwords and password policies
A strong password should be at least 12 characters long and contain a mix of letters, numbers and symbols. Implement a password policy that requires regular updates and prohibits the reuse of old passwords.
Keep the software up to date
Regular updates and patches from Microsoft include important security enhancements. Make sure all your systems are up to date to protect against known vulnerabilities.
Monitor account activity
Use Office 365's built-in tools to monitor unusual activity, such as logins from unknown locations or multiple failed sign-in attempts. Early detection can prevent potential intrusions.
