I have a Mac, it doesn’t break. Or does it?

| June 12, 2012 | 0 Comments

Contrary to popular belief, Macs ARE susceptible to malware and CAN benefit from the occasional tune-up. Yes, Apple’s Mac Operating System X does maintain itself well, but with time files pile up on the hard drive and start to drag the computer down. Many Macs may experience freezing or locking up of programs, long startups and shutdowns or just plain old slowness. These issues may be caused by little to no available hard drive space, lack of memory to support computer function or malware (malicious software, which includes viruses and spyware. And yes, although it’s less common on Macs, such software still exists).

If you have a Mac and you are experiencing any of these problems, a tune-up may be just the thing to get your computer running at top speed again. The good news is Call That Girl does Mac tune-ups and virus removals! If you’d like our help keeping your Mac healthy, fill out the form below and we’ll get an appointment set up for you.

Possible LinkedIn hackers leak millions of passwords

| June 6, 2012 | 0 Comments

First Pinterest, now LinkedIn; it seems like all the popular social media sites are being hacked these days! With LinkedIn, however, it is not a virus you need to worry about, but your password’s safety instead. There have been reports of a Russian hacker who has leaked nearly 6.5 million LinkedIn passwords. The claim has yet to be confirmed, but LinkedIn has reported that they are looking into the incident. To be safe, I suggest changing your LinkedIn password ASAP and make it complex so that it is harder for hackers to crack. For more information search the internet for “LinkedIn password leak”, it is blanketed across the internet now.

What are the concerns with this reported password leak? In addition to all the private information on these sites becoming available to the world, it is likely that the email addresses connected to the accounts of the stolen passwords are in the hands of the hackers as well. This opens a door of problems for the owners of these emails as the hackers could blast them with infectious spam emails.

To change your password, log into your LinkedIn account and hover over your name in the top right corner.  Click on the settings link and find “Password” on the left-hand side of the screen. Click change; you will be prompted to enter your old password and then create a new one. Remember, complexity is the key to safety!
