Ever heard of a SuperPro3000?
We hadn’t either—until a client asked us to bring theirs back to life. This 20-year-old chip programmer was built for Windows XP, and most support providers wouldn’t go near it.

But we love a challenge.

After some serious tinkering, we got it running. On Windows 11 even.

Hacking, and ransomware, is now a legitimately illegitimate business, with bosses, developers, and support.

Not a new scam, but best to be vigilant.

🚨CONSUMER ALERT🚨

LMPD has been made aware of an individual or individuals that have been contacting Kentuckians saying that this is "Officer So & So" from LMPD or another agency. They go on to tell the victim, falsely, that a warrant has been issued because they missed a court date, did not show up for jury duty, have an overdue fine or something similar, and you will be arrested unless they pay right away or the United States Marshals Service will come and get you. The callers will demand that the fines or fees be paid with money, credit cards, gift cards, payment apps, or even cryptocurrency. THIS IS A SCAM!!!

Sadly these "SCAMS" have become all too prominent, victims have lost large sums of money and it causes anxiety and fear to those individuals who are receiving these calls.

The best way to protect yourself from these scams is simply to hang up. Don't be intimidated into providing personal details or financial information. LMPD, Louisville Metro Police Foundation or another agency is not going to call you and threaten you with arrest. Just hang up if you get a call like that.

We always encourage anyone who may have been a victim to call 574-LMPD (5673) or do it online https://louisville-police.org/187/File-a-Police-Report If you want to see an officer, they can call 574-7111 and ask dispatch for an officer to come to your location.

If you see something, like the picture, that claims to be a CAPTCHA, don't do it. CAPTCHAs only ever require you to click a checkbox or do some weird traffic light identification game. It's a scam that's trying to trick you into running code on your computer. We've seen this gaining traction recently. The code is often a remote access trojan that allows the bad guys access to your computer.

Who do you call when your roof caves in? Not us.

We should be, maybe, your fifth or sixth call. Soon as that roof is repaired, though, we'll be right there to help you!

Louisville has been snowed under by the recent storm and likely by the coming storm this weekend. Sometimes, buildings can't handle the weight and, in this case, caused a client's roof to cave in. As soon as they were able to shore up the roof and make it safe, we went in and recovered their technology hardware. After checking the hardware, we helped the client get their staff back to work at another location.

Due to road conditions our office is not staffed today and we'll be unable to make on-site visits. Support is still available through all other contact methods (phone, email, website, SMS, etc).

Last week, we had a remarkable hero moment when a client's network went offline in the middle of the workday. Thanks to our advanced monitoring systems, we detected the outage and began addressing it before the client even realized there was an issue. By the time they reached out to us, we had already identified the problem and were proactively contacting them.

At Internetek, we maintain stock on-hand and backups of network configurations, allowing us to swiftly pull and configure hardware. Within just two hours, we had the new hardware installed and the client's network up and running again.

Consider the financial impact when your staff can't work, take calls, or respond to emails. Most companies would take a couple of days to diagnose the issue, order, configure, and install the necessary hardware. Two days of downtime versus a couple of hours? This is just one of the many reasons why you want Internetek by your side.
