Most small business owners think they're too small to be targeted, but hackers no longer pick targets. They use automated tools that scan thousands of businesses per hour, looking for easy entry points.

The problem is that scammers have adapted. They have taken an old attack and reshaped it into something that blends into habits we barely think about, such as passing a CAPTCHA or completing a two-factor step.
