"CEO Reveals Unpopular but Vital Advice for Scam Protection"

Cybersecurity expert and former government hacker Kyle Hanslovan emphasizes the importance of multi-factor authentication as the "single biggest thing you can do" to protect against scams and deter hackers. Despite its effectiveness, many people dislike the inconvenience of the extra step during the login process. Hanslovan recommends using an authenticator app instead of text message or email-based authentication options for added security. Small businesses, in particular, are vulnerable to cyberattacks due to their lack of preparedness. Implementing multi-factor authentication can significantly raise the bar for hackers and make them move on to easier targets.
