Many people are asking if text messages are safe, especially when it comes to 2FA Multifactor?
Many banks are still using this technology over app based protections and with so many companies now in the S7 ring, the attacks are happening more frequently now.

Sterling IT is a company that provides IT services and solutions to various clients. In 2015, they faced a major data crisis when their vendor, who hosted their email and remote desktop servers, suffered a complete system failure and lost all their data. The vendor had promised to have geolocation backups, but they all failed as well. Fortunately, Sterling IT had their own external backups with different providers, and they were able to restore their clients’ data and operations. This story shows the importance of having external backups and not relying on the source provider alone.
This only affected the NEW Outlook, however it now affects most Outlook versions.
We have a fix that has been tested but only works in the old outlook look.
Have you clicked the New Outlook trial button and cannot get back to the original Outlook 365?
Switch from ‘new’ Outlook (2023) to ‘classic’ outlook
Once flipped on, the toggle is irrelevant since the “old” version still exists. J. You should still be able to find its shortcut in Start (and wherever else you might have had it before), but if not you will see outlook.exe in one of these places (may vary slightly depending on edition), so if necessary make a new shortcut:
I have personally tried to revert back and would not work, so I needed to edit the registry, so this is how to fix the problem or restoring the look back to original.

The nice thing about the New Outlook is that it’s not an either/or proposition (like New Teams is).
You have both old and new. You can even run them concurrently.
But if running that actually runs New Outlook for you (some have reported that’s the case), then either:
1) Uninstall Outlook (not required in most cases)
or
2) run Regedit.exe and go here (or the same with 15.0, if you don’t have 16.0):
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Preferences
And in that you will see UseNewOutlook
Set it to 0, which means that running old Outlook actually runs it.
Hope this has helped you, leave us some feedback please.
