13.01.2022 Did you read about TikTok collecting unique device identifiers, called MAC addresses, from millions of Android devices without their users knowledge? It has been reported that TikTok collected the identifiers by using an added layer of encryption to conceal the practice, as it violated Google policies. This means that even if users chose to opt out of advert tracking TikTok were still able to track the users online and build up data profiles on them. Just think of what you d...o online and how comfortable you would be having someone looking over your shoulder the entire time. These data profiles that they built could then be combined with user data being collected by other apps on the mobile device and suddenly a very clear picture about the user starts to form. With other apps, the data collection may have started out with a purpose that the users were comfortable with, however with a lack of transparency, accountability, and regulation there suddenly becomes an enormous opportunity for misuse of this user data. If mobile devices used by your staff connect to your workplace in any way, ie emails, shared drives etc, the data that is collected by these apps could then potentially include information about your business. This data could then be used by malicious actors to gain access into your systems. There is a layer of protection that you can add to mobile devices to help reduce the risks faced by your business, Lookout Mobile Endpoint Security works behind the scenes on a mobile device, dynamically monitoring to get visibility into the entire spectrum of risk associated with the device and then reporting back in real-time so you can respond quickly and effectively.

09.01.2022 A recent spear-phishing campaign has been spotted spreading a remote access tool (RAT), which is a legitimate tool used for troubleshooting and tech support.

05.01.2022 CCTV systems are like everything else, they need regular maintenance. Cameras need to be cleaned regularly to ensure you are capturing usable video. See the before and after images from a recent clean. There is not a great deal of difference in the day however at night the changes are very noticeable. Contact us to book in your next service.

04.01.2022 Just another reason you should have a WatchGuard Firewall.

03.01.2022 Who Else is watching your doobell ? "Systematic design flaws" have been discovered in leading internet-connected doorbell and security cameras. Vulnerabilities in devices manufactured by Ring, Nest, SimpliSafe, and eight other companies relating to the removal of active user accounts. The flaws allow a shared account to remain in place and continue accessing the video feed despite appearing to have been removed.... The flaws could allow malicious actors to covertly record audio and video from vulnerable devices indefinitely, invading the privacy of victims on their very own doorsteps.

02.01.2022 Probably best not to leave your passwords in plain sight. Maybe use a password manager instead. During a broadcast interview conducted via a Zoom video chat, the cameraman no doubt imagined he or she was getting a terrific angle pointing over the reporter’s shoulder.... Unfortunately, however, the view didn’t just show the interviewee on the screen but also a monitor with stuck-on login credentials.
