It’s Finally Here! iOS Sceensharing!

It has been a long time gripe that Tech Support has been able to jump on and help anyone, anywhere, …-as long as they were not on an iPhone or iPad. It was a limitation of Apple, not the apps or programs that provide screen-sharing abilities. Apple wasn’t willing to break that security, no matter how secure the app. But I guess Teamviewer, which is fully encrypted, and the only HIPAA compliant app/program, somehow got through to them finally. And Teamviewer notified us that has changed today. Supposedly Teamviewer now fully supports iOS devices. I’m dying to test it out and see if it’s fully functional. So if you have an iOS device and want to do a quick test with me, LET’S DO IT. Give me a call, or just let me know in a post, comment, or whatever floats your boat. 🙂 Here is the link to the new version of the Teamviewer app (or just get it from Apple on your device) https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/teamviewer-quicksupport/id661649585

I KNOW who a couple of you are, by the way…not all, but I do know some of you who I haven’t been able to help on your mobile apple devices…hopefully, this is a new era. Yay!

How Long Have I?

How Long Have I?

Today I was cleaning out some stuff, and I found an old camera SD card with a bunch of old photos on it. This is just one image that shows how long I’ve been repairing computers and other electronics…and how much LESS junk I accumulate now that things are shrinking in size, and BOY am I GRATEFUL! And notice all the USPS boxes I used to have to hang on to to ship leftovers I sold on eBay. I stopped that a long time ago also.

I’m glad I don’t need all this space any more.

New Vulnerabilities, Chrome extensions, and CLOUDFLARE CDN…AGAIN!!!

I try to stay up on what some of the most drastic compromises are, and today, WordFence put out another notice, this time about 8 compromised GOOGLE CHROME EXTENSIONS, and how those hacks where used to compromise websites via CLOUDFLARE again. This is the 2nd time Cloudflare has come up in a new discoveries list of compromises. (see my other post) I’m sure glad I never used it. I even thought about it after the last one, because I thought “well, they’ve plugged the holes, maybe it’s good now” …but luckily, I didn’t pursue that. This Cloudflare compromise is big, and affects 4.8 million users. And even though I do use “1” of them, probably the most common one, Web Developer extension, I think I’m ok, because it’s .4.8 that is affected, and I’m on version .5. So keeping things updated, obviously pays off. If you want to read the article and want to know what the other 7 extensions that are affected are, READ HERE:  https://www.wordfence.com/blog/2017/08/chrome-browser-extension-attacks/?utm_source=list&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=081717
