After all, we rely on digital communications more than ever to stay connected with staff and colleagues and to conduct day-to-day operations. Cyber-criminals may look to exploit these situations, and their tactics have become more sophisticated than the typo-riddled messages or endless pop-ups of the past, with fraudulent communications or requests often appearing completely valid.
