Phishing and Spear Phishing Attacks
One of our clients received an email that gave him pause, and he forwarded it to us to check. And we’re glad he did, because we were able to tell him that it was a spear phishing attack and to delete it from his inbox and ignore any new emails that were similar in nature. Frankly, we were a little surprised to see that this email managed to make it past Microsoft’s fairly rigorous spam filters—particularly because the sender was pretending to be Microsoft! But for a moment, let’s back up and talk about phishing versus spear phishing.
How to Improve Your Google Maps Ranking
Most of our clients have had a business for quite a while, but occasionally we have a client who’s starting from scratch. No website, no domain name, no brand—just a great product and a lot of pluck! Recently, a client in this exact boat asked us how to show up on the first page of Google, and in particular how to show up as one of the first results in Google Maps. While we can’t promise that—especially for a brand-new business—a number of our clients do in fact appear on the first page of relevant search results. How they achieved that Google ranking is a good question with a difficult answer.
Remote Support with I.T. Roadmap: AeroAdmin
Last week, we quietly added a button to our Tech Support page. After years of using TeamViewer and Logmein products for remote support, we have switched to a new-to-us product called AeroAdmin. While we love offering remote support, we didn’t love the process of walking people through installing our remote support tools. And while Logmein is a great product that has gotten much easier to use in the past year or two, we don’t love the pricing for it—now over $100 per month. After all, the lower our cost for support tools, the less it costs you too. AeroAdmin is only $69.90 per seat per year, and it allows us to establish remote access to an unlimited number of computers.
