So excited for Kaylan and the career she has ahead of her. Also, I love that we get to work together at HORNE, soon to be BDO USA! 🎉🎉
Congratulations to Kaylan Ainsworth for passing all four sections of the CPA exam on the first sitting! Kaylan is a 2024 Bachelor of Accountancy graduate and 2025 Master of Taxation and Data Analytics graduate. She is from Canton and is employed in tax with HORNE in Ridgeland. “The master's program was instrumental in my success on the CPA exam. Especially for REG and TCP, the Master of Taxation and Data Analytics program gave a lot of the background needed for those sections. While additional studying was needed, most of the material on the exams had been covered throughout the program to where studying was not as overwhelming as it would have been with just the bachelor-level education. Most importantly, it was inspiring and motivating to study while being surrounded by peers and teachers who challenged and believed in me.” Kaylan Ainsworth

🎣 Phishing Evolution: Why Your 2020 Training Isn't Enough Phishing attacks have become surgical. Gone are the days of obvious spelling errors and generic "Dear Customer" emails. Today's threats are personalized, contextual, and often indistinguishable from legitimate communications. What we're seeing in 2025: • AI-generated content that passes the "sniff test" • Business Email Compromise targeting specific employees with public information • QR code attacks bypassing email filters • Voice phishing (vishing) combining social engineering with technology The new defense playbook: Verify before you trust, use out-of-band communication (separate, independent channels) Question urgency and unusual requests, even from "known" senders Report suspicious emails immediately (yes, even false positives help) At HORNE, we've shifted from "don't click" to "verify first." Our clients see 40% fewer successful phishing attempts when employees know how to validate suspicious communications.
