Protecting Your Business: How Denver and Boulder Companies Can Stay Safe from Office 365 Scams

As more businesses across Denver and Boulder rely on Microsoft Office 365 for day-to-day operations, cybercriminals are stepping up their attacks. From phishing emails to fake login pages, Office 365 scams are becoming more sophisticated — and the stakes are higher than ever.

At eCreek, we believe in making cybersecurity simple and actionable. Here’s what you need to know about these growing threats — and how you can stay protected.

Why Office 365 Is a Target

Office 365 is packed with valuable business data — emails, financial information, client records, and proprietary documents. Cybercriminals know that gaining access to an Office 365 account can open the door to sensitive company operations.

Most attacks start with phishing: a fake email that looks legitimate, asking you to reset your password, verify your account, or click a link. One wrong click can compromise your entire business network.

In cities like Denver and Boulder, where startups, nonprofits, and small businesses are thriving, attackers are specifically targeting organizations that may not have full-time cybersecurity teams.

Common Office 365 Scams to Watch For

Cybercriminal tactics are evolving fast, but some common scams include:

  • Fake Password Reset Emails: You receive an urgent message asking you to reset your Office 365 password — but the link leads to a fake login page.

  • Account Lockout Warnings: Scammers create fake alerts warning that your Office 365 account will be disabled unless you verify your information immediately.

  • Impersonation of Microsoft Support: Hackers pretend to be Microsoft representatives offering “urgent support” to access your credentials or install malware.

  • Business Email Compromise (BEC): Attackers gain access to a real employee account and use it to request fraudulent wire transfers, send fake invoices, or spread malware internally.

In high-growth areas like Denver and Boulder, even savvy professionals can get caught off guard by how real these scams look.
