🚨 Cybersecurity Alert: Top 5 Cyber Threats in 2024
Cybercrime is on the rise, and hackers are getting smarter. Here are the biggest threats businesses and individuals face today—and how you can protect yourself.
🔹 Phishing Scams – Hackers trick you into clicking fake links.
Solution: Never click suspicious emails, and use email filtering tools.
🔹 Ransomware Attacks – Cybercriminals lock your files until you pay.
Solution: Keep backups & install strong security software.
🔹 Weak Passwords – Let’s be real. “123456” isn’t going to cut it.
Solution: Use passphrases and a password manager.
🔹 Outdated Software – Hackers exploit old system vulnerabilities.
Solution: Regularly update Windows, antivirus software, and all critical programs.
🔹 Public Wi-Fi Risks – Free Wi-Fi can be a hacker’s playground.
Solution: Use a VPN when connecting to public networks.

💻 Quick Fix: 5 Easy Ways to Speed Up Your Computer
Is your computer slower than usual? Before considering a replacement, try these quick fixes suggested by our techs:
✅ Restart Your Computer – Yes, really. It clears background processes slowing you down.

✅ Upgrade to an SSD – If you’re still using an old-fashioned hard drive, an SSD upgrade can boost speed by up to 10x!
✅ Manage Startup Programs – Prevent unnecessary apps from launching at startup (Task Manager > Startup tab).
✅ Scan for Malware – Viruses and spyware can slow you down. Run a deep scan using trusted security software.
