Our photography brand Dreamcoat Photography has launched a campaign helping businesses get good imagery for their own social media, marketing and websites. Too many businesses either use the bland boring stock photography that everyone uses, or dodgy mobile phone photos. We help you create a suite of unique images that reflect your business and can be used in marketing, social media, web banners and other online places. The package includes banner templates for Google+, Facebook Pages and Twitter.
Fake emails like the one on the right come all the time – can you tell the difference before you click and it is too late?
First of all please check the senders email address. Reputable companies like Microsoft, Paypal, Netflix, Westpac Bank etc will not send an email like this.
If you are still not sure right click the link and copy the hyperlink. paste it into notepad. See where that URL goes to.
Second – Patch, Patch, Patch. Microsoft security updates are released on the second Tuesday of each month and known as Patch Tuesday. For us in Australia that is the Wednesday after. Please take security patches from Microsoft seriously. Businesses cannot afford to have their systems and data frozen by ransomware or leave their organisation exposed to attack internally by users doing the wrong thing inadvertently. The loss of productivity is enormous, let alone the cost of removing / cleaning viruses. Please contact us (email if you like) if you need help managing your patches.
