For many Welsh charities and community interest companies, digital work happens everywhere. Staff and volunteers blend shared laptops, personal phones, cloud email and online banking to deliver services and keep funds moving. That mix is efficient, yet it creates a wider set of weak spots than a single office network ever did. This 1-day list is built for small teams without a full time IT lead. It focuses on identity, email, updates and recovery, because that is where most attacks begin and, of course, where the impact lands. Phishing has grown in volume and realism, and attackers now reuse stolen…

From the data out there, you can spot shifts in how people approach these games and what they expect. Mobile optimization? That’s become sort of a non-negotiable, mixed in with the growing use of AI and, strangely enough, even blockchain. Most of the time, if a platform jumps on…
