Happy Friday! Here’s what’s on deck this week: a quick tip you can use today, the latest cybersecurity news worth knowing, and a reminder on how to make the most of your P3C support.
Tip of the week
One Bot to Record Them All
We’ve had a few requests lately for admin access to let “Read AI” or similar tools join meetings across the whole company. Before you click approve, here’s the catch: you don’t need that access just to read notes someone else sends you. If a client or vendor uses their own AI notetaker and shares a summary with you, you can open it — no permissions from us required.
Where it gets risky is when your team wants the bot to auto-join every meeting on the calendar. That requires org-wide access to Microsoft 365 — calendars, Teams meetings, sometimes email — and once it’s granted, your meeting recordings and transcripts leave our systems and live on someone else’s servers, outside our control.
The fix isn’t “never use AI notetakers.” It’s picking one, on purpose, as a company. Your Acceptable Use Policy should name a single approved meeting recorder for all staff to standardize on — vetted once, governed once, and easy for everyone to recognize when it shows up on a call. If a tool you haven’t heard of asks to join a meeting or requests admin consent, that’s your cue to ask us first.
Cybersecurity news
Two Scams Wearing Trusted Disguises
First: a DocuSign email making the rounds is 100% real — valid signature, real encryption, and it passes every spam filter (Gmail even flags it “Important”). But buried in the body, the sender was spoofing “QuickBooks Account Payables” from a domain with nothing to do with Intuit. A legit-looking DocuSign doesn’t mean a legit request — scammers don’t need to fake DocuSign, they just need you to trust the logo and skip the details. See how to verify any e-signature request.
Second: one dropped letter nearly cost a client their login credentials. They meant to type “associatedbank.com” but landed on a fake site with a convincing (fake) Windows security lockout screen and a bogus “Microsoft Support” number. This is typosquatting — scammers use the same SEO tools marketers use to find common misspellings, buy those exact domains, and wait. See the warning signs and how to protect your team.
Working with P3C
The Fastest Way to Reach Us
Getting help fast is all about picking the right channel:
1. It’s urgent — work is stopping. Call us at 262.423.6267.
2. It just needs to be scheduled. Email support@p3ctech.com to open a ticket.
3. Something’s wrong with your computer and you got an error message. If you’re on a proactive IT plan with us, click the P3C Help button on your computer to send us a full diagnostic.
Here’s why texting or emailing a technician directly isn’t the best way: our techs may be with another customer, on vacation, or traveling — and they may not see your message right away. When you use one of the methods above, every technician at P3C sees your request and can jump on it faster.
