A very good article on passwords. To summarize, short obscure passwords with a mix of letters, numbers, and special symbols are not nearly as effective as using a phrase.

Have you ever had “password rage”?

“U.S. Cyber Trust Mark” Why is this important?

With the overwhelming number of "smart" devices that are being incorporated into your home there is a high risk of being compromised. We all make jokes about the "smart" toaster taking over your home, but the threat of a open access to your home network is real. One open "smart" appliance is like leaving a window or side door unlocked in a high crime neighborhood. The really scary part is that you might not ever notice the thief has been snooping around or taken something of value.

Here is part of the official announcement
https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/07/18/biden-harris-administration-announces-cybersecurity-labeling-program-for-smart-devices-to-protect-american-consumers/
The Biden-Harris Administration today announced a cybersecurity certification and labeling program to help Americans more easily choose smart devices that are safer and less vulnerable to cyberattacks. The new “U.S. Cyber Trust Mark” program proposed by Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel would raise the bar for cybersecurity across common devices, including smart refrigerators, smart microwaves, smart televisions, smart climate control systems, smart fitness trackers, and more. This is the latest example of President Biden’s leadership on behalf of hard-working families—from cracking down on hidden junk fees, to strengthening cyber protections and protecting the privacy of people in their own homes.

Participants in today’s announcement include: Amazon, Best Buy, Carnegie Mellon University, CyLab, Cisco Systems, Connectivity Standards Alliance, Consumer Reports, Consumer Technology Association, Google, Infineon, the Information Technology Industry Council, IoXT, KeySight, LG Electronics U.S.A., Logitech, OpenPolicy, Qorvo, Qualcomm, Samsung Electronics, UL Solutions, Yale and August U.S. # # #

A reminder to protect your computers, network devices, and TVs is to make sure that they are plugged into a surge protector or even better a UPS. Power surges will be a problem during the upcoming weather. Even if the power doesn't go out, it will fluctuate. Your best protection is to unplug them until after the storm passes.

This would be a good time to make sure you have backed up your data files. We offer cloud based backups as well as local backup solutions. Verify that your backup is working prior to the storm.

Finally, if your computer is damaged due to flooding we offer data recovery services for your hard drive. It is possible to recover data from thumb drives so don't just throw those away.

If we can answer any questions or be of assistance give us a call at 850-838-1683. As of Tuesday morning we plan on being open Thursday and Friday of this week.
