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.

Best Practices


WiFi

Internet Help

We depend on the Internet. When there is a problem with the Internet, there are a host of problems.

From modems to computers, or phones, tablets, televisons, printers and any number of appliances in our offices or homes, we are often connected to the Internet.

Whether it is a structured wiring issue, or WiFi problem you may be able to diagnose of fix the problem youself.

At other times you may need help. Sometimes your Internet Service Provider can help; sometimes you can be on the phone for hours with them and you still have an unsolved problem.

I will not say I can diagnose and solve every problem, but with over twenty years of experience solving Internet connection issues, I can solve most problems.

When you have an Internet problem to solve, let me know.
I will be glad to get you up and running.

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?
