Solve It All

Clare the Mini Bear is having a hard time deciding what color ball to fetch!

Totally irrelevant to your decision of purchasing a new laptop or desktop... but it's the same look of confusion.

At Vivid Computers we can help you decide what to purchase based on our experience as repairers. Drop in or call us for advice on your next purchase.

SCAM ALERT – PHONE PORTING!

If a scammer has your name and date of birth (usually obtained through stolen mail) they can contact your mobile phone provider and state they have lost their SIM card and need the number ported to a new phone.

Once they have access to your phone number, the offender requests a change of password details for online banking accounts which are sent to the number via text message.

They can then enter it in the ‘forgot my password’ field and eventually gain access to your financial information.

To prevent this from happening to you:
• Install software updates as they become available.
• Switch off your date of birth on social media.
• Keep your phone locked at all times.
• Use a strong password with characters, numbers, upper and lower case letters.
• Use a different password for different login accounts. Eg: phone, email, bank etc.

If you notice that your signal completely drops out, and it doesn’t come back, contact your mobile phone provider immediately. We also recommend you monitor your online bank accounts for any suspicious transactions.
