Can OAuth Phishing Work Without Your Password? (2026/758)

How careful are you when you give a website or application access to your email, files, calendar or contacts? OAuth phishing gets younto use your login and MFA to grant hackers access to your details.

OAuth is useful technology, but it can be misused:

✅ The login is genuine, but the application asking for access is not
➡️ MFA still works because it isn't bypassed.
⚡ Changing your password may not revoke access already granted
⭐ Connected applications need to be reviewed as carefully as active logins

There are definitely lessons here for business owners, particularly if a request to connect an application arrives in an email or message.

Which applications currently have access to your business accounts?

Automate Your Business: Do You Know What That Takes? (2026/777)

When someone says “just automate it”, do you know what you’re agreeing to? Business automation can save you time, but there’s more to the decision than the work you’d like it to take off your hands.

✅ How much is involved in making an automation useful to your business?
➡️ What might you be committing to after the initial setup?

⭐ Where does the technical work end and your business judgement come in?
