ProSysCon Computer Technologies, Inc.

THIS IS JUNK MAIL!!! (in our opinion). . . I just thought I'd make it clear to anyone that gets these notices, that this is NOT your domain registration, it has next to NO effect on whether your domain is found on the internet, and they're making a TON of money sending out official-looking mail that looks like a recurring invoice, and getting people to send them money. While they may actually list you on "their registry", no respectable search engine uses their information and you're wasting your money. If you ever get an invoice for technical services you aren't sure about, please feel free to Call/Email/PM us, and we'll let you know whether it's a legitimate service.

DON'T FALL FOR THIS! . . . I've been getting a lot of these emails lately, so I'm sure others are also. The link to update your password looks like it's for your website/domain, but notice when you hover over the link, it's directed somewhere else. This is a classic phishing email, and IS NOT from your email provider!

These types of phishing attacks are common but this is one of the most polished ones I've seen to date. . . plus they went through the trouble to personalize the name of the file to be viewed and the account it was coming from. Be Vigilant, and don't open attachments or links unless you KNEW they were on their way. This one even made me think twice

Happy New Year everyone! SAUSAGE LINK - Here's a quick example of why you should use a different password for every website that has sensitive information about you. This email claims to have my password, 'sausagelink', and that a hacker has access to my account. That WAS indeed one of my passwords a long time ago, and they got it when someone hacked LinkedIn. I know this because it was the only place I ever used that password . . . and I don't mind sharing because it was... changed immediately after the hack. The claims of the email are typical for these types, but are very far-fetched. . . but the technical jargon may sound convincing to some. Please let your friends and relatives know that these are not real, and to just ignore them. . . AND to use different passwords for every site that has sensitive information. I'll also add that you should use passwords that are at least 10 characters long, has upper and lower case letters, and at least one special character. Feel free to send us any emails you think are suspicious. We will give you a quick reply and are always discreet.

Just received an email with an "invoice" from a company I've never heard of. Obviously it's a scam/hack, but it included a file I wasn't familiar with (IQY). It's a type of MS Excel file that contains a web address. It's used to retrieve data from a website to include in a spreadsheet. If you get one of these, DO NOT OPEN IT!!! Whether it's designed to exploit a vulnerability in MS Excel or simply a Spam message, there's no reason someone should be sending you one of these. I've just added it to the list of Blacklisted File Types in our Barracuda Email & Spam Firewall.
