A simple setting could protect your business data today

When invoices expose you: billing data unprotected

Key Takeaways:
178,519 unprotected files exposed in latest billing breach
Information included tax IDs, invoices, addresses, phone numbers
Encryption + password protection could have prevented it

Nearly 180 thousand files were exposed in a billing platform breach because the system lacked encryption and password protection. Businesses large and small rely on services like this every day — but risk skyrockets when sensitive data is left vulnerable.

Here’s a simple framework to protect yourself:
• Always encrypt sensitive data at rest and in transit
• Use strong authentication (passwords + MFA) to restrict access
• Regularly audit who can reach billing and financial records

Implementing one step today will save you time, money, and your customers’ trust.
