Email Hacking Tips and How To Protect Your Accounts

| January 22, 2017 | 0 Comments

Hi everyone! in this very long blog I offer some tips and safe links to help protect your email. As I work with email all day long, I keep hearing stories of how clients and others on the internet are getting hacked, scammed and phished. The people who get hacked, scammed and phished feel foolish and always know afterwards they did the wrong thing. It just felt bad while it was happening. I feel bad for them too as anyone really can get scammed without looking very closely at emails.

No fault to them, these links are setup to look very professional! I have even had to look at a few a couple of times and in my past, I have clicked on links that I felt were official. It can happen to anyone!

Below is a list of things you should read and please share with friends and family that you feel need this advice. Even though you are “tech savvy” not everyone you know is.

What is email phishing?
It is an email sent from you or to you that appears to be legitimate that causes you or someone in your address book to click on it and fill out the request of the phishing scam, it’s usually a password reset to your email account, or it might ask you to log into your online banking, etc. These tend to look very real, but watch for broken English and other odd words that don’t appear to be normal email communications.

 

If you have been hacked, scammed or phished…

  • Change your passwords asap and add on 2 step authentication

  • Alert everyone you can over the phone that you feel would click on the links as not everyone will recognize your email as a hack or scam

  • Set up 2 step verification with your email account. If you are using the free

I mostly have links for Gmail as the latest phishing attacks have been linked to Gmail free accounts. If you have another email account, please contact your email provider to have them send you instructions on how to setup 2 step verification

Office 365 for Business

| January 6, 2017 | 0 Comments

office-365-expertCall That Girl offers Office 365 Expert Consulting and technical assistance to clients around the world. We offer fast same day service with no contracts. Our remote support tools allow us to remote into many computers to be more efficient.

Most clients call us  for the following reasons

  • Office 365 is a bit confusing and they want to talk to someone who can explain it to them and ask the right questions to make sure Office 365 is the right choice. See the “New to Office 365” section below.
  • They have already been through a migration that didn’t go well. Companies such as GoDaddy seem to have migrations that leave clients calling Microsoft to finish the job. Sometimes Microsoft cannot assist. This is where I step in and can help you resolve those last lingering issues and offer on-going support. See the “Need Office 365 Aftercare” section below.
  • They are looking for a smaller experienced company to help with their migrations and have it go as seamless as possible. With my forms and surveys, I do my best to have your migration completed in one day. I offer next day aftercare to insure everyone on the team has their special issues resolved. See the “Why Hire Lisa” section below.

If you are a IT Professional and are looking for coaching, I am glad to help! Contact me for information on my Office 365 coaching packages. 

New to Office 365? 

  • Looking for a company to help your company migrate your email, calendar and contacts to Office 365 Exchange? This is one of my favorite projects to do. I help small businesses get migrated in one day and then have an aftercare session. Training is optional but I offer that with my Outlook Training Videos, created with clients in mind.  Clients who purchase migrations services from us, every employee get a complimentary login so they can watch at their own pace.
  • Migration pricing: I have standard pricing, no hidden prices. 

Need Office 365 Aftercare? 

  • Already on using it and have a few questions? I know the answers! Most issues are leftover problems your IT company doesn’t know how to fix it and I do. 
  • Calendar and contacts a mess after a migration? I help clean it all up and help your team get organized with sharing with the team and for mobile device use.
  • What about SharePoint and OneDrive? I can help you with setting up, configuring and training. The hardest part of both of these is doing everything right the first time.
  • Phones, iPads and tablets not working right? Probably configured wrong, I will help you get everything in sync and teach you a few tricks I know to help your experience even be a better one!

Why Hire Lisa

Looking for an experienced technician? I have over 17 years of working with Microsoft Outlook and since 2010 have been migrating clients email from pop/IMAP to Exchange. Over the years, I have worked on making my migration processes better by documenting issues from the past. While no migration is 100% seamless, I learn from issues and update my notes and surveys. Technology can change very fast and having a technician who is up to date on these issues is the value you get with working with a small company. As well, I’m the only technician so the call back times during migrations are immediate. If your company uses 3rd party apps such as Gmail calendar syncing, iCloud or other programs, I am familiar with most of those and know how to export data correctly.

Tired of not being in the loop with your tech company? I also know how to manage expectations so when a technical snag arises, I communicate this with you as soon as I’m aware. My vendor AppRiver and their tech support team are top notch. They offer 24 x 7 support so if after we are done with the migration, you get continued phenomenal support with AppRiver. As well, I’m the only technician so the call back times during migrations are immediate. Finally, I am an Outlook Expert, so if Outlook is having issues during a migration, I know how to quickly resolve these issues.
