19.01.2022 If you have a WordPress Website and using any of the following 4 Plug-ins: -WPTouch, -Disqus, -All In One SEO Pack, -MailPoet Newsletters You need to update them tout suite! Here's what really caught my eye: "The security hole found by Sucuri on Monday -- which is actually an error in WPTouch code -- would allow an attacker to take over your site, or hijack your best-indexed pages before you discover you've been hacked." http://www.zdnet.com/wordpress-plugin-vulns-affect-over-20/

10.01.2022 Most "hacking" isn't 'hacking' at all - it's people who have chosen weak passwords, and then reused the same password on lots of sites! Until people actually pick secure passwords, and use different ones for every site, we are going to continue to have Celebrities who's naked photos of themselves *somehow* end up in the the media because they were synched to the cloud - where someone guessed their crappy password and got access to them! During my travels for the last 3 months, I have visited sooo many people who all were using weak and insecure passwords - EVEN THOUGH THEY KNEW BETTER. We all know the rules, yet chose to ignore them. Are you CRAZY? Folks, you can't be slack with your passwords - it's a receipy for disaster. Don't be the cybercriminals next victim. I'm talking to YOU! Take password security seriously!

09.01.2022 For those of us who find choosing a good password a bit taxing! :)

Don't get caught by this one, it reaks terrible damage. http://www.staysmartonline.gov.au/alert_service/message
