Nefarious Domain Names |
|
Coronavirus or
Covid-19 domain name
registration is on the rise.
Why? While numerous Coronavirus
domain name registrations are
for legitimate purposes, many
are not. Hackers use the domain
names to lure unsuspecting
people into scams that seek cash
or load malware onto their
systems. One such domain,
"vaccinecovid-19\ .com" offers a
Coronavirus cure for $300.
Hackers use people's fears
and desires to manipulate them
into clicking links that
distribute Trojans and other
malware. Beware of subject lines
or emails that contain
hyperbole. Avoid clicking on
links that look strange or point
at peculiar domains. If you feel
like you need to see the
information offered, enter the
company name into a search
engine and look for legitimate
links.
Watch for logos
that don't look right,
misspellings, and other
indicators that an email may not
be genuine. Resist clicking
links for promotions that sound
too good to be true. If it
sounds too good to be true, it
probably is.
Do not
click any link that you did not
expect to receive without
checking with the sender. Email
and text credentials are often
spoofed, so the link may not be
from who you think.
Caution is the key. Before you
click on a link or offer
information online, be sure you
know where you are on the
internet. If you wouldn't give
your credit card info to a
shady-looking street vendor,
don't offer it on an unknown
website.

Just For Grins
|
- I think I'm finally
being grounded for everything I didn't get caught
for when I was a teenager.
- Of all the things I
learned in grade school, trying to avoid cooties
was the last one I expected to use.
- Sometimes
understanding what a woman wants is difficult. It's
like trying to figure out what color, the letter
seven, smells like.
- Waiting to see how
long it takes this police sketch artist to realize
I'm describing him.
- I got called pretty
today! Well actually the full statement was "you're
pretty annoying" but I only focus on the positive
things.
- My goal was to lose 10
pounds this year, only 15 to go.
- Dinosaurs had no
coffee, look how that turned out!
- Pro tip - Keep cake
moist by eating it all in one sitting.
- Dove chocolate tastes
way better than their soap.
- Doing nothing is hard,
you never know when you are done.
- I bought my co-worker
a "get better soon" card. They're not sick, I just
think they could do better.

Monthly Tip |
Distant Desktop
We featured Quick Assist, the remote connection tool
built into Windows 10, in the
November 2020 Newsletter. With remote work
becoming more common, I thought offering another
option would be appropriate. Distant Desktop offers
several features Quick Assist does not.
Distant
Desktop is currently free for both personal and
professional use. The program is completely portable,
which means there is nothing to install. Click the
executable file on each PC, share the User ID and
password, and you can remotely connect with another
PC.
Secure file transfers are available,
allowing you to share files during your remote
session. Text and voice chat (requires a microphone)
are features that promote communicating while remotely
connected. A demonstration mode allows you to share
your PC without giving anyone remote control.
You can white list people you trust to connect to your
PC making Distant Desktop even more secure.
