🏒💙 Help Us Support Pucks for Autism! 💙🏒

Every year, Adam, one of the owners of Real IT Solutions, laces up his skates and raises money for an incredible cause: Pucks for Autism.

Pucks for Autism uses the game of hockey to raise awareness, promote acceptance, and provide resources and support for children, young adults, and families impacted by autism. Funds raised help support autism-focused programs, grants, and initiatives that make a real difference in people's lives.

If you're able, please consider making a donation to support Adam's fundraising efforts. No amount is too small, and every dollar helps create more opportunities and resources for individuals on the autism spectrum.

❤️ Donate here:

Thank you for helping us make a difference! 💙

Most cyber incidents don’t start with some Hollywood‑style hacker.

They start with something that looks… normal.

Today, three computers ran an .exe that installed Datto RMM.

Datto RMM is legitimate, signed software.

It’s used every single day by real IT teams.

And that’s exactly why it’s being abused.

This one dropped remote access components (including a ScreenConnect instance that wasn’t ours), then tried to clean up after itself.

No fireworks.
No ransomware splash screen.
Just a quiet attempt to create a foothold using a “trusted” tool that doesn’t trigger the obvious alarms.

👉 Here’s the lesson:
If your security plan only catches “bad files,” you’re playing yesterday’s game.
Modern attacks rely on legitimate tools in the wrong places.
That’s why defense has to include:

✅Limiting what can install
✅Limiting what can run
✅Limiting what one machine can reach when something slips through

We detected it quickly, blocked the unwanted RMM activity, and our SOC team jumped in.

No drama.
No downtime.
Just the kind of boring outcome you want when something weird hits your environment.

And bless your heart—if your entire plan is “we have security software,” that’s not a plan.
That’s hope.

If you want truly boring, real IT, shoot me a message and let’s connect.

AI didn’t catch this.
A human did. Because a human has to.

Also, never download or click an .exe file. No one should be sending you that. Ever.

Even astronauts needed help with Outlook.

I read something this week that cracked the office up.

NASA launches a crew around the moon…
First thing they have to fix?
The toilet.

Second thing?
Outlook.

Think about that for a second.

Some of the smartest, most prepared people on the planet…
floating in space…
still needed help getting email to work.

That’s not a failure.
That’s reality.

Most folks think real IT is big projects and shiny upgrades.

Truth is, real IT is more like plumbing.

If it’s working, nobody notices.
If it’s not, everything backs up real fast.

Email goes down and suddenly sales stalls, approvals stop, and people start pacing.

The best teams still hit weird problems at the worst possible time.

What matters is whether you’ve got someone steady on the other end who knows how to troubleshoot without turning it into a rodeo.

That’s what we do at Real IT Solutions.

No panic. No blame. Just fixing what’s broke and getting folks back to work.

If Outlook has been acting up and you’re tired of crossing your fingers every morning, we’re happy to talk through a few ways we help prevent the repeat offenders.

Our very own, Adam Peterson, is playing in the 2026 Pucks for Autism Tournament in Grand Rapids.

He’s doing it to support autism acceptance, and to help raise funds for programs that serve people on the spectrum.

Pucks for Autism runs adult hockey events and puts profits toward organizations that support children and adults impacted by autism.

For the Grand Rapids tournament, the majority of event profits go to Pine Grove Learning Center in Kentwood.

Pine Grove serves students with special needs, including autism, from Kindergarten through age 26.

If you’re leading a team, this is a good reminder of what makes any cause (or any business initiative) work:

🏒A clear mission
🏒A local impact people can picture
🏒A simple next step
