Appy I.T.

Today is World Backup Day! (Who knew there was even such a thing?) So back the f**k up, ok?

Had 2 friends in a week ringing with their Macs not working and NO BACKUP! ... All hard drives in computers will fail one day, it's a matter of when, not if.

Have you got backups actively working? If not, contact me today, I can assist.

OK, so you are probably not going to listen to this 35 minute podcast unless you are geeky like me, so here's the TL;DL (too long didn't listen) version:

(Oh PS don't read on if you DO want to listen to it, plot spoiler!)

A guy in USA wakes up to find his Uber account has been hacked somehow, a dude in Russia is clocking up Uber rides and all getting charged to our guy's credit card. After long investigation, turns out his Gmail account was probably hacked, the password stolen, then bad guys used computer software (bot) to test the password in multiple other web logins, including Uber; since our guy DOESN'T USE A PASSWORD MANAGER, he uses the same password all over the place. (insert sad sound effect here.) So the bad guys sold his details (for $7!) on the web. Someone bought it and starts using his account.

Moral of the story! .. well you probably know by now. If you would like help to secure yourself online, contact us to find out how. ;-)
