Ransomware Simulation
I wanted to share a video with everyone on ransomware attacks and how easily anyone can be a victim. I caution users when getting emails not to open anything that does not look right.
Most of these ransom attacks can be halted if users get more proper education on how to open suspicious emails.
Also if you do become a victim reach out to Lockard Security since they were so nice to simulate an attack for us and educate us.

Uber Eats Delivery Bot Update

Win Going Wrong
It looks like Windows 11 is going wrong again, well sort of. In Windows 10 Microsoft did away with some of user's favorite options and continued to do it again with Windows 11.
I just do not understand why they just do not follow what users still want.
I guess it's back to consumers to decide if they want to upgrade or not and for Microsoft to learn another valuable lesson when it comes to sales. Stay tuned.
9/21/23

9/18/23
MGM BlackCat Cyber Attack
Interesting how MGM Resorts was attacked by ransomware using BlackCat. The ransom uses a malware-infected email or website to bait its victims. It just took ten minutes and let's just say in my opinion everything went down. I hope that had a good reliable backup system.
9/17/23
Shift
A lot of browsers are now copying with other browsers are doing and Shift is one of them. If you prefer to install the software instead of using these browsers then installing Shift makes sense.
I must admit having these simple tools on the side to easily connect to does simplify having easy access to the application with just a few simple clicks.

MS Azure Breach
You would think that a company this big would make it difficult for malicious hackers to get in using simple tactics. But it looks like negligence played a key role in this breach.

Microsoft is doing a lot of new tricks to get users to switch to Bing, but it's just getting awkward and tiring for many users.
This is nothing new for Microsoft and they should first keep on focusing on making their browser number one again before trying to convince users to switch over to Bing.
9/3/23
Apple Maps
It looks like Apple Maps palette is causing a lot of attention and it looks like Google Maps is showing similarities.
Let's hope the new colors do not confuse some users, since it does take some time to get use to, especially if your a Google Maps user.

Two companies are being sued for failing to install engine immobilizers in their vehicles. The hack was shown viral on social media and has led to a whole sorts of lawsuits.

8/21/23
Google Cams
I have been a Nest customer for some years and find it upsetting to finally have to say goodbye to the product because Google could not get their act together.
After years of back and forth, they finally got the product to work as it should and now trying to replace it with something less inexpensive and pointless.
Maybe if they had stayed focused when they acquired Nest, it could have been something amazing. It's a few years too late and they should just call it quits for good. The competition already has an advantage.
8/20/23
Google Code Points SOS
It looks like Android is following Apple's trend to create a free SOS emergency service similar to Apple's emergency SOS.

FBI Ransomware Investigation
Hackers should be aware that now the Feds are investigating the ransomware attack that shut down emergency rooms in several states and let's just say that little game they're playing might just catch up with them because now they are crossing the lines when it comes to public safety.
I always say, karma always comes back and you might just not like it when the tables are turned.

Apple 999 Calls
It looks like the Apple Watch has a flaw that you can accidentally activate to sound an alarm and call emergency services.
I guess Apple did not test the new update carefully and they should be held liable for flaws like this so that they can get their act together.
8/4/23
When Branding Goes Wrong
Twitter or X recent name change is a good a example of when branding goes wrong. The last minute changes, the confusing webpages and the reference to search Twitter when a name change took place just looks awful and this is the reason why when companies change their names, there is a process and procedure that many individauls need to abide by so that everything reflects the new name.
8/3/23
Amazon Surveillance
It's no surprise to see Amazon employees posting videos taken from their in-van surveillance cameras. The company has for years violated a lot of privacy policies.
I believe the only way the company is going to adhere to employee rights is to unionize and have some representation for all those employees who still work with the company and feel violated.

8/2/23
Copilot Ouch
If Microsoft thinks that paying $30- per user extra a month for Copilot will be an easy adoption, think again. This could definitely delay early adopters for sure and regardless that it's going to be a game changer, it's a hefty price for big business.
8/1/23

Now I do not know whose bright idea was this but this is definitely the beginning of the end of Twitter as we know it.
In a time of rising interest rates, inflation, and job loss, people are having difficulties staying afloat, how can you even consider paying a price to post when other other social platforms are free. This is a no-brainer for Twitter users to jump ship and I am not alone on this theory.
7/2/23

Apple Vision Pro Failure
Even though it's a great device here are some reasons why they believe this device may fail. Unfortunately, unless they can resolve some of the ongoing problems that they now have, it's going to be a while before consumers even entertain the idea of purchasing this device.
I am excited that Apple took this approach but I am hoping other manufacturers put their minds together and figure out a solution to make the fantasy a reality.
