Ruh roh... Time to disable Facetime. NOW! Go into Settings > FaceTime and turn it off until Apple releases a software update later this week.

Rethink that 10 Year Challenge post you’ve been planning!

Yesterday was another successful day upgrading a client's IT infrastructure. Not only did we upgrade & simplify network hardware, all new CAT6 cabling was run to each workstation for computers, printers, & telephones. New #UniFi network switches and In-Wall AC wireless access points from Ubiquiti Networks, Inc., and a new Untangle NGFW for security & protection of the network. We also cleaned up a very message IT closet by removing old unused equipment and remounting for easy access and visual identity. Special thanks to Alan Rudnick and his awesome team at ADR Security for wiring & terminating all the network drops!

Something to think about before posting your next selfie...

Apple iOS Users: If you updated to iOS 11 and have noticed a strange "A" with a symbol in your posts, texts, emails, etc. Here's a fix for you! https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208240

Verizon techs arrived and have confirmed a communications line outside our building was struck by something, probably a passing truck, and is the cause for our phone service and internet going down on one of our two Fiber connections (the other connection was unaffected) which carry telephone and high-speed internet into the building. The other fiber connection has kept us online with internet service and hasn't skipped a beat. Awaiting two other linemen to arrive to assist with the 400ft cabling run. #howboutdat #dangitshot

Ironic how Verizon was the company hired to conduct extensive security auditing & analyses into the MASSIVE Target breach several years ago which found the breach came from shared VPN credentials with a Target HVAC contractor... not that Target's actual IT infrastructure had been "hacked" or "breached". Now Verizon is the victim in a similar situation with a one of their vendors. #irony #ClosingTheDoorHelps #2FASecurityForTheWin

A global cyber attack is sweeping across Europe right now. DO NOT open strange emails with strange attachments or click strange links!

More #perspective

You may have seen the news this weekend about the WannaCry/WannaCrypt ransomware attacks. Criminal hackers have released a new strain of ransomware that spreads itself automatically across all workstations in a network, causing a global epidemic. If you or a co-worker are not paying attention and accidentally open one of these phishing email attachments, you might infect not only your own workstation, but immediately everyone else's computer too. Be very careful when you get an email with an attachment you did not ask for. If there is a .zip file in the attachment, do not click on it but delete the whole email. Remember: "When in doubt, throw it out"!
