Sans Ouch! Newsletter – Password Managers

September 6, 2017 by William Chriscoe

One of the biggest complaints I hear from clients is the necessity for long and complicated passwords required by websites to protect their accounts and personal information. Once you need passwords for more than two or three websites, people have a hard time keeping them straight in their heads without committing them to paper, or saving them as a file somewhere on your computer. Another issue is that password that you only use in case of an emergency, for example an email password in Outlook or Thunderbird. A solution to this issue is to use a password manager. This Sans Ouch! newsletter gives you great information on the basics or password manager programs. It pays to do your research and choose the program that works best for you. I personally use and recommend LastPass. It has both free and paid versions, and is easy to learn. If you need any help in setting up a password manager, please give us a call.

Scambusters: Can You Trust Your Facebook Friends?

June 14, 2017 by William Chriscoe

Facebook scams are at an all time high. I know I usually get at least one friend request from someone pretending to be one of my established Facebook friends every week. This excellent article from Scambusters gives you plenty of information on how not to become a victim, and how to lessen the chance someone would ever want to spoof your Facebook account by hiding your friends list from everyone but yourself. I highly recommend you implement that recommendation immediately.

Cyberattacks Are Here to Stay…Unfortunately

May 15, 2017 by William Chriscoe

You have been hearing about the scary cyberattack causing all types of problems on a global scale in the news. The good news is if you are using a currently supported operating system (Windows 7 or higher) you are protected. If you use Malwarebytes Premium you would have been protected regardless of whether or not your operating system was still supported. Companies and individuals running unsupported or unpatched operating systems are the real targets of these crooks. Microsoft in an unprecedented move, even released a patch for XP and Vista operating systems to stem the ransomware’s impact. I’m afraid it’s going to get worse before it gets better. Remember: keep your operating system updated. If you are not already using Malwarebytes Premium, now may be the time to start. This is just the beginning of the new norm. Please contact us if you have any questions about your security status/risk.
