It’s 2025, and phishing scams are no longer clumsy or easy to spot—they’re fast, hyper-personalized, and AI-generated. Over the last 90 days, we’ve seen a wave of local businesses in Andover, Portsmouth, and Newburyport fall victim to email scams, credential theft, and ransomware attacks.

The reality is simple: all it takes is one click.

That “invoice” from your accountant? It might be fake. That “file share” from a coworker? It could launch malware. Today’s phishing attacks are crafted to mimic real correspondence—right down to the email signature, language style, and timing. If your employees aren’t trained to recognize red flags, your entire network is at risk.

Axis Computer Networks is here to help. We’re offering a free “Red Flags Checklist”—a practical, no-fluff guide you can share with your team today. It highlights the most common traps we’re seeing right now and how to avoid them.

We’re also encouraging all local businesses to schedule a security review. Don’t wait for a breach to take action. Prevention costs far less than recovery.

If you’re in Andover, Portsmouth, or Newburyport, let’s talk. We’ll walk you through simple steps to lock down your network, secure your endpoints, and train your team.
