Protect yourself against hackers
Roughly 594 million people are affected by cybercrime every year, globally.
So I thought I’d just go into that if you be aware and use some correct tools you can protect yourself against hackers stealing your data, and just knowing these things, it does help you a lot.
Google Photos
Google Photos is something different and that’s photo, video synching and back up some editing.
But the biggest thing is, it uses machine learning to organise your photos and gives you the ability to search for all sorts of things. It’s, it’s quite an incredible piece of, or framework or platform, in that it, they are improveing all the time to make things easier for you so you know how you know you’ve got thousands of photos and sometimes finding a particular photo is not easy,
Weird, Useless, Funny Apps & Websites
We’re going to be taking a look at apps what we now commonly known as apps.
I’ve got some equally weird useless and funny websites as well so there’s some of them are apps just on your phone and some of them are websites.
Why Do Hackers Attack My Website?
One of the biggest questions I get from a small business with a small website is – “I don’t really need security for my website because there’s nothing worth, you know, sort of pinching if you like or taking from my website” – that’s really a bit of flawed thinking.
So why do hackers attack websites in the first place?
Automate Your Life
There are a lot of automation tools out now. And these are just two of the more popular so the IFTTT, which stands for. If This Then That, that’s more for home automating stuff in your home, whereas the second one I’m going to talk about is called Zapier. That’s more for automating businesses.

Spear-phishing, Phishing, Pharming, Vishing, and Smishing
We’re going to be talking about phishing pharming vishing smishing and spear-phishing with a ph. So, we’re not talking about spear-fishing in the ocean.
Zoom storage and transcription
Zoom has really increased the number of settings that are available to you.
And they’ve also put a lot of these settings on sort of a higher security default.
So it’s worth going into your zoom, when you enter your web zoom page, where you first sign in and just going through all the settings.

Zoom – what the others are doing to catch up
Last week we spoke about, zoom and the popularity of video conferencing that seemed to take off with the enforced hibernation that we’ve got from COVID-19. But that’s not the only one on the market, I think Zoom’s got a head start on everyone else, everyone else playing catch up, are they.
But, Microsoft and Google are busy playing catch up because they realised there’s a huge market for this now it’s probably not going to diminish greatly. When we all get back to what we call normal life.
Zoom Extras
Today we’re going to be talking about Zoom extras. SeamusWhat I am going to talk about today is the other programmes and software and apps that work with Zoom to make things just more efficient and I think one of the things that’s happened is, we’re probably not going to go back totally to the […]

“I think a lot of the time thing it’s the security issues that people are worried about, whether it’s rumour or fact, what are the facts?”
Together website for COVID-19

Speedify and COVID-19 Facebook Groups
How to increase your internet speed if you’ve got a slow line.
There’s a little product called Speedify which combines two internet connections and uses them both at the same time.
Coronavirus Google and Microsoft
I’m going to talk about what’s happening with the Coronavirus, one of the many things that have happened is that, for instance, the World Health Organisation has recommended that people travel less for the next few months just to try and slow down the spread of the Coronavirus. And the big companies are cancelling their physical conferences and things like that. But how it affects local businesses and councils and organisations here is that the two major companies, Google and Microsoft are offering free versions of their enterprise-level, video conferencing software, which is an amazing offer.
