How Many Websites are There Around the World?

“Consider that a big portion of the websites is not updated in a timely manner. This means that the actual number of active, working sites may be a much smaller fraction.”

Warning of Ransomware attack

Just received this notice from the software manufacturer that I use to protect my WordPress websites.  Please read and take action!  “Ransomware” is a hack that takes control of your computer and demands a ransom to release it.  Do not fall for this trick!

A massive global ransomware attack on machines running the Windows operating system is underway and spreading quickly. We have published a public service announcement that gives you a high level overview of the attack along with advice on how to protect yourself.

You can find the full post on our blog….

Regards,
Mark Maunder
Wordfence Founder & CEO

Dropbox Hit With Reused Passwords

Dropbox was accused of a security breach. They state that their database wasn’t attacked. BUT hackers used passwords they stole from other sites to try to access Dropbox accounts.

http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2014/10/14/dropbox-blames-security-breach-on-password-reuse/

This is why you can not use the same password for multiple accounts!  This is a serious problem. Please!  It’s worth the effort to make your data safer.

Option 1
Use LastPass.com to record and input passwords. I will help you set it up if you need some assistance.  Basic service is free. Premium to sync multiple devices is only $12 a year.

Option 2

Create a series that you can remember but changes with each account.  Should be at least 8 characters including a capital letter and a special character.

Example:  Series is 12yahoo34$%

Then for your Google account it is 12goOgl34$%
        for Southwest Airlines it is    12soUth34$%
        for Yelp it is                        12yeLp34$%

Call me for help!

Beeminder Motivational Tool

Needing some motivation to get everything checked off on your to-do list? Here is a great article from Spirit Magazine’s January 2013 edition on a site that can help.

“Beeminder This new online tool forces you to shape up—or pay up. Here’s how Beeminder co-founder Bethany Soule describes the Web-based, incentivized task tracker: ‘When I met my co-founder Daniels Reeves, he was in the doldrums of dissertation writing. That’s when we started concocting a series of incentive schemes and productivity hacks called the Voluntary Harassment Program. It was so effective that he finished his Ph.D. that year and then asked me to marry him. After that, we built a simple website for friends that, paired with small side bets, became indispensable for tracking all sorts of goals.  The project evolved into Beeminder.  It’s a motivational tool where you pledge money to stay on track to meet any goal.  We show your progress using a digital yellow brick road, and we integrate with popular fitness and productivity sites to help you keep pace with your achievements. The way we motivate you is simple: If you miss a milestone, we take the money you pledged—which can range from $5 to several hundred dollars.  We’ll even let your twitter followers know you’ve fallen behind.  Most goals are fitness related, but some use Beeminder to boost productivity at work or fulfill lifelong goals like learning to play a guitar.  We use it to guarantee at least one improvement to the site each day.  We’ve made more than 600 since we launched, and we’re just getting started.’ Beeminder.com”

Facebook Likes

Here is an interesting article I found in Spirit  Magazine’s January 2013 Edition.

“Facebook processes 2.7 billion ‘Likes’ each day. The social media site’s users—who total one billion, or 1/7 of the earth’s population—are giving this feature a big thumbs up.  But the ‘Like’ button wasn’t always so well-liked—or even called ‘Like.’  In a post on the Q-and -A site Quora, Facebook engineering director Andrew Bosworth explains that ‘like was deemed more universal than the company’s first choice, ‘awesome,’ even though initial employee response was lukewarm. ‘We [had] become attached to ‘awesome’ and, comparatively, ‘like’ seem[ed] bland,’ he says. The digital sentiment as we know it today made its official debut in February 2009. Since then, 1.3 trillion ‘likes’ have been recorded. A quite positive development, indeed.”
