In response to recent developments in the Middle East, the **Department of Homeland Security (DHS)** has issued a new bulletin indicating that the United States is currently operating under a **heightened threat environment**. Among the concerns highlighted are **low-level cyberattacks** targeting U.S. networks, reminding all businesses that now is the time for increased vigilance.

You can view the official Homeland Security National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin here: [National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin-June 22, 2025](https://www.dhs.gov/ntas/advisory/national-terrorism-advisory-system-bulletin-june-22-2025)

At Coordinated Business Systems, we’re committed to helping our clients stay informed and secure. Below are some key steps your business can take to protect itself during this period of increased cyber risk.

**Practical Tips to Protect Your Business**

Cybersecurity threats often start with the simplest of tactics. Here are several critical practices your team should adopt immediately:

1. ** Pause Before Clicking**

Be extra cautious with email attachments and links. Ask yourself:

- Were you expecting this message?
- Does the file or link seem unusual for this sender?

If you're in doubt, it’s always better to confirm before opening.

1. ** Watch for AI-Driven Phone Scams**

Sophisticated voice cloning and AI-generated calls are on the rise. If someone calls requesting sensitive data:

- Politely offer to call them back.
- Use a **known and trusted phone number**—never a number provided in the same suspicious call.
