25.01.2022 Security Tip #0001 Protect Against Social Hacking Hacking isn’t what it was 20 years ago. These days hacking is all for money. The most effective and lucrative way to succeed in it is through social engineering. ... Hackers DO NOT have the technical skills they once did, and they cannot bypass any decent security software. This is why they will seek to trick you into allowing them access to your computers. In order to prevent this, remember these simple rules: 1) Your service providers WILL NOT request access to your computers or files unless it is a support request, initiated by you. Any call from your telephone, internet, power, water company, etc. requesting access to your PC or Mac should be ignored. 2) No international coalition of law enforcement officials will ever call your for your assistance in tracking hackers or moving money. 3) None of the above agencies or organizations care enough about you or your daily activities to call you and warn you of a virus or malware infection on your computer or Mac. Any such calls should again be dealt with by hanging up. Avoid opening links in emails and don’t open attachments unless you know the sender, and you’re expecting the attachments. If you have any questions at all, feel free to contact me via messenger, email, SMS or phone, and I’ll help you through it. #security #cybersecurity #brisbane #redlands #brisbane #cybersecurityawareness #queensland

25.01.2022 Do you really need that extended warranty? It's gold to a retailer, and salespeople are enticed to sell them, particularly with consumer electronics like televisions, tablets, and PC's. The truth of the matter is that in Australia, our Consumer Law will in most cases cover your purchase for a VERY reasonable period after the sale. MANY retailers have attempted to mislead consumers, even outright argue, quite unwittingly, that you have no rights beyond the manufacturer's (usually one year) or extended warranty (normally another 2 years). The article below helps to shine the light on some very handy protections that the law has for us in Australia :) https://www.smh.com.au//consumer-law-trumps-product-warran

21.01.2022 Be careful, be very careful. Especially if you are over 40. I just had a call from John Travolta. Seems he is working for the technical department of windows, and has lost his Yank accent. Since it is, John Travolta you could really be tempted

09.01.2022 With the threat of COVID-19 right outside our doors, things are changing fast. We are already seeing workers being sent to do their work from home. With the right home office setup, you can work very comfortably, and quite effectively from home, and Mango Computer Tuition & Repair can help set you up properly. Here are 5 things you can do to get your home office up and running so you can be effective away from the office. 1. You need a fast, and reliable dual-monitor computer... setup an up to date operating system (Windows 10 for the PC, and Catalina for Mac.) 2. Your computer needs to be secured from outside malware and virus threats with a good security suite. 3. You need to have a backup system (preferably an automatic one) in place to protect your sensitive documents. 4. You need the right office productivity software to create and edit work documents and send and receive email. Most of you will be aware of the Office 365 suite, which includes Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint and others. There are also some very good free applications that can do the same thing, such as LibreOffice. 5. Your computer should be set up with individual accounts and cleaned up so that distractions will be at a minimum, and you can get your work done fast. If you think you may be coming home to do your work away from the office, give us a call today and we’ll get you set up nicely, leaving you with the peace of mind that comes from knowing the local professional has your back.

06.01.2022 NBN (National Broadband Network) SCAM. The thieves are now using letters sent via Aussie Post, to rob money from you. You might be scammed via your regular mail, a phone call or even a flyer left in your mailbox. The enticement is access to a good price on high speed broadband. Here are some steps to protect yourself ... If someone claiming to work for nbn has contacted you trying to sell you an internet or phone service and you’re in doubt, ask for their details, hang up and call your retail service provider to check if they’re legitimate. Do not share your bank or personal details with an unsolicited caller or with those who door knock claiming to be from nbn trying to sell you an nbn service or seek payment for related services. Never give an unsolicited caller remote access to your computer via the installation of programs such as Team Viewer. nbn does not call you with automated assistance to advise you will be disconnected we suggest you hang up the phone. nbn is a ‘wholesaler’ you will need to purchase an nbn powered plan through a phone or internet provider. We only accept direct payment from the public in certain circumstances e.g. switching technologies at your premises. See more

20.11.2021 Be careful of sponsored Facebook posts. I recently clicked on one (see screen shot below) and was sent to a scam page that might or might not have contained malware. Two lessons: First, Make sure you have the best malware and anti-virus protection you can have. Second, Facebook doesn't seem to check out the pages they let the bad guys promote.... If you are a Mango Computer client, get in touch with Dave to make sure you have the best possible security software, and that it’s updated. If you live too far to have Mango Computer Tuition work on your computers, ask your iT person if your anti-virus/malware protection is a good one, and that it’s updated and working correctly. Here is the capture of the post. It is just a picture and not dangerous to click.

31.10.2021 Happy Birthday, Internet! You're officially old ;)

11.10.2021 Elf Acres is business less that 10 years old and only operates a few months a year. Yet the people who run it have gone far beyond sharing the joy of Christmas. I am proud to know this family of caring people.

22.09.2021 A service business can advertise all it wants, but that doesn’t prove how reliable they are. It doesn’t show their commitment to customer service. And dedication to getting the job done A service business trades in more than knowledge, skills and talent. It trades in solving customers problems and doing it with a good level of dedication and respect for the customer. It means tackling the problem and solving it. You can’t put that in an advertisement and be sure people will ...believe you. That is why I am so happy to share what my customers have said about Mango Computer Tuition. Thank you to the people who took the time to leave reviews on my Google Review Page. If you would like to see some of the reviews go to: http://bit.ly/MangoReviews See more
