Bottleneck Got Hacked!
Jaime and Sara are back after a week, and they have a lot to share!
They then talk about the importance of security. Whether it be in our lives by having a nice home, or good personal relationships surrounding you. It could also pertain to security in the business sense, and how you can keep malicious elements away from your important resources.
This topic comes after the widespread hacking over the Thanksgiving break. A lot of businesses had their servers and websites targeted. These attacks were definitely pre-meditated, as most companies were not paying attention during the break.
What was supposed to be a relaxing 4-day break turned into a stressful weekend, as Jaime and the crew worked on the website to have it back up again. After which, they worked on isolating where the breach came from, and brainstormed how they can prevent such breaches from reoccurring.
Protect Yourselves!
Jaime wants to take this opportunity to remind people to be more secure, especially with corporate accounts.
One way to do so is to keep your passwords updated. Making it a phrase rather than just a word can help strengthen your passwords, and it also makes it easier to remember on your end. Also, don’t make it something that people can phish out from your Facebook profile, like the name of your dog, or a parent’s name from a picture.
If you want to have a super-secure way to handle all your passwords at once, you can use password-protection services like LastPass.com
As for your corporate accounts, it is better to have separate accounts for people who need back-end access to your website and databases. It helps with identifying where the potential breaches may have come from. Also, never let someone use the main admin account for security purposes. Besides you and the head web developer / IT person, other people should have no access to it.
What Happened This Week?
In the last 2 weeks, Jaime and Sara went out and experienced the wilderness. They got to hunt a deer, which they dressed and processed themselves.
On the Bottleneck side of things, they have launched the SPortal, as well as the Onboarding portal. Jaime and Sara believe that these things are important, as it can help smoothen the process of training candidates on how Bottleneck does remote assistance before they meet the clients. It will help facilitate faster transition and performance, so that the DAs can hit the ground running.
