Free tools to start with

Password managerBitwarden (free plan), or the one already on your phone: Google Password Manager on Android and Chrome, the Passwords app on iPhone. Use it to give every business account its own long password.

Two-step login codesGoogle Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator. Turn it on for business email and banking first; it's safer than SMS codes because SIM swaps still happen.

Has your email been leaked?Type your business email address into haveibeenpwned.com. If it shows up, change that password first.

Good passwordsUse four or more random words, like kettle-taxi-maize-orbit. Long beats clever, and never reuse one between banking and anything else.

If your business gets hit

Paid a fake account? Call your bank's fraud line straight away, using the number on your card or in your banking app. Then open a case at SAPS (10111) and keep the case number.

Got an order from a government department? Find its supply chain office on the department's official gov.za website and call them before you buy any stock.

Customer details leaked? Tell the affected customers and report it on the Information Regulator's eServices portal: eservices.inforegulator.org.za

Bank not helping? Complain to the National Financial Ombud: 0860 800 900, nfosa.co.za
