It's tricky being both public online as a business, and trying to keep yourself safe from bad guys. As a small business forum we are susceptible to spammers and other unscrupulous actors trolling for access to this target market. A few suggestions on keeping yourself safe on the forum:
- Use your work or a public email so that in the event of a security issue, the bad guys only get what you've already allowed to be public.
- Don't use the same email that you use with banking or other financial services.
- Use a different password here than you do anywhere else with that email.
- Report any private message solicitations from anyone you don't know from the forum or that you haven't asked for.
- Be careful of opening any attachments that you haven't asked to be sent.
- When doing business with forum members, do your normal due diligence.
- Report all spam. If you notice spam that we haven't gotten to, let us know.
- Anyone can post a link. If one looks suspect, don't investigate. Report it.
- Use Virus Total to scan links for malware if you are unsure: https://www.virustotal.com/#/home/url
- Don't publicly divulge private information about yourself or emp0loyees.
- Feel free to PM me or post in the Water Cooler or Feedback and Suggestions forum to report any suspected issues.
