Are you using AI to generate passwords? It’s time to stop.

The problem? AI is designed to predict patterns, not create randomness, and randomness is what’s needed to create strong passwords. Use a dedicated password manager such as BitWarden, LastPass or KeePass.

A proper password manager doesn’t just generate secure, random passwords, it also stores them safely in an encrypted “vault” so you don’t have to remember them.

Most will autofill logins for you and even alert you if any of your passwords have been exposed in a data breach, helping you fix weak points before they become a real security issue.

Not everyone needs (or wants) to pay brand-new prices for a laptop and that’s where refurbished tech can be a really smart choice.

A refurbished laptop offers reliable performance without compromising on quality, speed, or usability. It’s a great choice for work, study, browsing, or everyday use at home.

It’s also a great way to get more for your budget, especially if you just need something dependable without the premium price tag.

At Smart Computers, we have a large range of refurbished laptops available, and we’re always happy to help you find something that fits what you need and what you want to spend. Head on over to https://www.smartcomputersbristol.com/laptops/ to check out our current stock.

🚨 Fake “reward survey” scam alert 🚨

Attackers are back with a new twist on the old survey scam, and it looks convincing.

They’re impersonating well-known brands and luring people in with “quick surveys” and fake rewards. Once you’re in, the process slowly builds trust… then asks for a small delivery fee to claim your prize.

That’s where card details and personal data gets stolen.
The worrying part? The pages look legitimate, use familiar branding, and even include fake “winner” comments to make it feel real.

It’s a reminder that if something feels too good to be true online, it usually is.

If there’s one quick win that can massively improve your cyber security, it’s two-factor authentication (2FA).

It only takes a few minutes to set up, but it adds a powerful extra layer of protection to your accounts, meaning even if someone gets hold of your password, they still can’t get in without that second verification step.

It’s one of the easiest ways to reduce the risk of hacking, phishing, and unauthorised access, yet it’s still not being used everywhere it should be.

Most major platforms already offer it, all you need to do is switch it on.

At Smart Computers, protecting your devices and personal information is just as important as keeping your technology running smoothly. That’s why we recommend Norton antivirus solutions to our customers.

Norton offers more than just virus protection, with real-time defence against malware, ransomware, phishing scams, unsafe websites, and suspicious downloads, it helps keep you protected both at home and online.

We also like that it’s easy to use, regularly updated, and works across PCs, Macs, tablets, and smartphones.

⚠️ Scam warning ⚠️

This is a new one doing the rounds and involves Apple Pay, claiming a large payment has been stopped or that suspicious activity has been detected on your account.

The message will urge you to call a phone number immediately to “secure” your account, but that number connects you directly to scammers.
Their aim is simple: to create panic so you act quickly and hand over personal information, security codes, or banking details

Remember:
❌ Apple will not ask you to call a number from a text message
❌ Legitimate security alerts will not pressure you to act immediately
❌ Never share verification codes or passwords over the phone

If you receive a message like this, do not call the number. Delete it.
