Have you been Hacked Yet?
I attended a seminar yesterday on #cyber #security and the speaker gave a lot of information about #hacking and #cybercrime and how it's on the rise and the serious problem that is has become for individuals and businesses of all sizes large and small.
Here's a shocking statistic - 26% of you will be breached in the next 24 months!
Here's some quick tips
- Have a daily backup of your computers
- Have a good virus protection program
- Have a firewall of some type
- Have a good password manager and different password for every website
- Use dual authentication when possible
- Take unused drives offline when not needed
- Implement and enforce security protocol and procedures at home and work

I tried it a few years ago.
When I turned on my computer, there was one who controlled it at the other end, yes I sat quite simple and fought with another for control.
The only thing to do is to report it to the police so you can get a new IP address. I was without a computer for a long period of time until I got pulled myself together to buy a new one.
I started from scratch with everything Facebook, mail and everything else.
The only relation to my old set up is that I am friends with me on Facebook.
It's a little spooky experience so it always sits slightly in mind that it can happen again.
My LinkedIn account was hacked. I deleted my account and never got back to it since then. This is great info. Thanks for sharing, Wayne! Have a great weekend!
Thanks, Wayne! Do you think I'm being paranoid in thinking I'm one of the 26%?
I've tried everything I know to get Excel (which I use very frequently) to stop crashing and to move faster. All other Word products are just fine ... only Excel is behaving badly.
Could ... literally ... pull ... hair ... out! :-)
Do you have any recommendations?
