Prevent Social Engineering in the Workplace!!

Back on August 15th 2022, UBER was hacked again. It was compromised as a hacker gained access to an inter-departmental chat service called “SLACK” …and used that to spoof an administrative appearing message to gain an employee’s password and used that to access the rest of the network. Here is a link to the Tech Republic Article from the internet:  Uber Social Engineering Leak August 15, 2022
 
How does this happen? How do you KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING AT YOUR COMPANY???
 
By LEARNING YOURSELF, THEN TRAINING YOUR EMPLOYEES!!
 
Here is a document that can help you do just that. I didn’t write it, I’m just sharing it so that the information can get out there, because obviously it’s not getting out there or these breaches would not continue to occur in late 2022.

 

WOW, this is AMAZING!

5.3 Earthquake Today Off the Coast…

5.3 Earthquake Today Off the Coast…

You wanted to know where the earthquake was centered at, right? I did. Well, it was centered on the Island of Santa Cruz. (click header for full post to see map) My friend has a boat and often cruises out off the coast, and he took a video of the back side of the island, which has major damage, although no “people” were affected, the back side of the island broke off and fell in to to the ocean. If I can get the video link again, I will add it.

Santa Cruz 5.3 Earthquake

If you are on the west side of the VC grade, you likely felt it pretty good. The whole county felt it though, but if you were in Channel Islands, Hueneme, or Point Mugu, you probably felt it the best.

Well, now that you are here, why not look around a little? Most people need some kind of I.T. service, but they don’t think of it until something refreshes their memory. But now that you are here, do you have a computer issue that is bugging you to death, an image you want edited, a website you want created, updated, or even just maintained? How about a laptop you need repaired? Want a custom gaming computer built? Remote support available. Ethical, honest, and reliable! Give me a call. (or chat, or text, or leave a voice mail…so many ways to reach me!)

Glad the earthquake was only 5.3 and not 8.3, right? Because we would have been in serious trouble then. 🙂

Bless you all.
