It seems basic common sense but even for seasoned pros sometimes it’s not! Email spoofing is a hackers easiest way to grab a handful of money and be gone! They do this by intercepting a legitimate emailed invoice as an example, and now they have the information they need to begin. They’ll open a new bank account, claim it’s your new account and they are in play, here is how. …
We all go about our day working, or on our downtime surfing the web. Whether we’re doing research for work, booking our next vacation, shopping, looking for funny videos, or making a few bets with latest online gambling craze, we’re online a lot. And the worst part is we don’t even think of who’s behind us looking??!! Many of us think we are safe because we downloaded antivirus software, or …
We all have a friend or family member who is a doctor, lawyer, dentist, electrician, etc., and we always call them up asking for advice.

It takes time to download, then install, then reboot… But trust me it is worth the time! The reality …
This is a very serious matter and I am speaking from a recent personal experience. Last week I received multiple messages from my MFA/2FA that someone had tried to change the password on one of my Social Media accounts! What does that mean?? We live in a very connected world these days via Social Media, for personal use, business, interests, dating etc. Some people have so many Social Media apps …
This week I was helping a friend with some issues they had on their personal computer. We needed to log in to a number of their accounts to fix some issues. I was blown away at how a friend of mine could use the same password for every one of their accounts, email, social media, work… Now this is not an unusual occurrence to be sure! I decided to look …
