Text messages 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗡𝗢𝗧 the most secure method for two-factor authentication.

Using SMS relies on telecommunications security, not IT security. Attackers can call a mobile carrier, impersonate a user, and transfer the phone number to a new SIM card.

They then trigger a password reset and intercept the SMS code, bypassing the password entirely.

Transition your accounts to better secured alternatives. Use an Authenticator App or a physical hardware security key.

Have you audited how your employees receive their authentication codes?

Your phone broadcasts the names of your saved Wi-Fi networks wherever you travel.

Mobile devices and laptops constantly search for previously connected networks.

Attackers deploy portable hardware that mimics common network names, such as generic hotel or coffee shop Wi-Fi.

If your device is configured to automatically connect to known network names, it will join the malicious network without requiring your approval. The attacker then intercepts the data transmitted from your device.

Disable the "Auto-Join" or "Auto-Connect" feature for all networks on your company devices. Require your employees to manually select networks when working remotely.
