  • Another day, another serious exploit – this time in Adobe Flash (the software the powers videos in YouTube, animations/interactive content on many websites, and more). If you use Chrome and have not restarted your browser in a while, do so. This will automatically update Flash for you. If you use IE10/11 – make sure you have the latest Windows Updates installed and restart your computer. Everyone else should make sure they update Flash as soon as prompted (it is supposed to auto update in the background, though lately it has been requiring users manually download the new version – a huge step backward).

    My ITXpert clients will see the update pushed out within the next 24 hours. Interested in having our IT Xperts update your systems and keep them secure? See http://www.myitxpert.biz/ for more details.

  • We are seeing a surge in clients who are being scammed after their Hotmail accounts have been compromised. The scam works like this:

    1) Your Hotmail account is compromised. Once they can access your account, they usually get your phone number.
    2) You get a call from someone saying they are from Hotmail or Microsoft (past surges they've been from Google, Yahoo, or Facebook)
    3) They explain your account has been hacked (which you believe since your email account will have real emails from Microsoft asking you to set a new password because they detected the compromise)
    4) They ask you to visit a website that looks official and click a link which downloads their remote control software, giving them full access to your computer.
    5) They poke around, explain your computer is completely compromised. They can clean it, but it'll require a lifetime annual service plan for $399/year.
    6) If you pay them they'll install a fraudulent application…

  • All too often old electronics, computers, and cellphones end up in toxic dumps in third world countries. Few recycling programs are setup to ensure 'e-waste' is handled safely without toxic byproducts. Yet even in these toxic dumps, entrepreneurs are making sure many recycled devices get refurbished and reused.

    If you have old computers and electronics laying around the house, one of the best programs to utilize is Dell Reconnect (http://dellreconnect.com/). Dell has an extensive set of policies in place that ensure no toxic materials end up in landfills and no e-waste goes to developing countries. The best part is Goodwill has partnered with them so you can often drop off old computers and such nearby. (Details -> http://goo.gl/Ofa5v3)

    Young men sitting in the wreckage of a toxic wasteland, children picking through piles of high-tech rubble, women hunched over coils of tangled copper wiring: These are the faces of e-waste, as we know it. A few years ago I started visiting tech dumps around the world, because I wanted…
