The click that cost thousands of euros (or more)

Once upon a time, there was an SME that managed everything in the cloud: billing, communication, storage. Until one day, an employee received an email from a "trusted" supplier. They downloaded a file, entered their credentials, and, without realizing it, handed over the keys of the business to a cybercriminal.

Within hours, the attackers accessed the real account, changed the bank account numbers on invoices, and sent fake emails to clients.

Result: financial losses and a blow to the reputation that took a lot to reverse. This type of attack —identity theft or phishing— is one of the most common and effective. You don't have to be careless: just a second of misplaced trust is enough.

How to avoid a "click" costing you dearly

• Beware of urgency: if an email demands haste, breathe and verify.

• Check the origin: review the sender's domain and the links.

• Multi-factor authentication (MFA): even if they steal the password, they can't get in without the second factor.

• Payment policy: validate changes to bank accounts through an alternative channel.

• Continuous training: the best antivirus remains a team that knows how to identify "the strange."

Golden rule: if something seems urgent, expensive, or too easy, it probably doesn't come from the Tax Agency.
