Linux Computers

What is a Linux computer?
I work on Microsoft computers, but I primarily use Linux computers.
Similar to Microsoft Windows or Apple Mac, Linux is an operating system.
I began switching over to Linux several years ago and cannot remember any of my Linux computers crashing.
I get regular notifications about security updates and have a choice of when I want to install the updates.
Not only do I get all the basic office and creative software I need, it is all free.
Sound too good to be true, and want to learn more about Linux computers?

FBI 2023 Report on Cybercrime

The FBI has released its annual cybercrime report for 2023.

As astounding as these numbers are, the estimate is only 20% of cybercrimes are reported.

Ransomware attacks were up 18% and costs were up 74% to $59.6 million.

Over age of 55 were most likely to fall victim to Tech Support and government impersonation scams.

Ages 30 to 49 were more likely to fall victim to investment fraud schemes in the amount of $4.57 Billion.

Cryptocurrency continues to be the preferred method ransomware actors want to be paid.
