Happy New Year's Eve! Here's your tech tip from pim, now Aligned Tek.

If you're only using passwords to protect your accounts, you're leaving the door wide open.

Here's the reality: Passwords get stolen. They get phished. They get cracked. It happens every single day to businesses just like yours.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) stops hackers even when they have your password.

Think of it like your house: A password is the lock on your door. MFA is the deadbolt, the alarm system and the security camera combined.

Even if someone steals your key (password), they still can't get in without the second factor — usually a code sent to your phone or generated by an app.

The data is clear: MFA blocks 99.9% of automated attacks.

Enable it on everything: E-mail, banking, cloud apps, social media, your business systems — all of it.

Yes, it adds an extra 10 seconds to log in. But it could save you from a breach that costs thousands (or millions) and destroys your reputation.

10 seconds of inconvenience vs. months of recovery. Easy choice.

And don't forget, pim is now officially Aligned Tek. To learn more about our new additional resources and to follow our journey forward, be sure to visit https://loom.ly/7Fnoigw!

"Have you tried turning it off and on again?" sounds like a joke, but it's actually solid advice.

Here's why:

Your computer loads dozens of programs, services and processes throughout the day. Some crash quietly in the background. Others hog memory. Updates sit waiting to install. Temporary files pile up.

A restart clears all of that out.

It closes those zombie processes eating your RAM. It applies security updates that keep you protected. It gives your system a fresh start.

Most performance issues? Gone after a restart.

Pro tip: Restart at least once a week. Your computer (and your IT team) will thank you.
Not everything needs to be complicated. Sometimes the simplest solution is the right one.

Still using "Password123" or the same password across multiple sites?

You're not just risking your own accounts — you're risking your entire business.

Here's what happens: A hacker breaches one website. They get your e-mail and password. Then they try that same combination on your bank, your business apps, your e-mail, your client portal — everywhere.

One compromised password = access to everything.

A password manager generates complex, unique passwords for every account and remembers them for you. You only need to remember one master password.

It's like having a vault where each lock is different and you don't have to memorize any of them.

Stop making it easy for the bad guys. Use a password manager.

At pim, now Aligned Tek, we are here to help with more tips and resources than ever before.

Did you hear that Proactive Information Management (PIM) is now Aligned Tek? This change brings you even more IT resources, expertise, support, and tech tips like this one:

You’ve just checked into your hotel and three WiFi networks pop up:​
​
A) Hotel_Guest_WiFi​
B) HotelGuest_WiFi​
C) Hotel_Free_WiFi​
​
Which one do you connect to?​
​
Tip: Always be cautious with “Free WiFi” networks - they’re often unsecured and can be a hacker’s playground. Stick to official, password-protected networks provided by the hotel (ask the front desk to confirm the correct one).​
​
Bonus Tip:​
Use a VPN when using public WiFi to keep your data and passwords safe from prying eyes.​

Are you guilty of the tech pile? 😅​
​
We’ve all been there… a mountain of tangled cables, mystery chargers and forgotten gadgets.​
​
Here’s how to declutter your digital drawer:​
​
1️⃣ Label everything. Use tape or tags to mark what each cord belongs to.​
​
2️⃣ Go wireless when possible. Bluetooth earbuds and charging pads can save serious space.​
​
3️⃣ Recycle responsibly. Don’t toss old electronics — drop them off at your local e-waste collection point.​
​
4️⃣ Keep a “Tech Essentials” box. Store only the cables and chargers you actually use.​
​
A little organization goes a long way toward keeping your tech life stress-free! ​
