Phishing tips save your business from security breaches
Did you know Phishing currently accounts for 90% of data breaches with 30% of Phishing emails being opened? Most of the time these phishing scams can be prevented with a bit of simple know-how.
It’s important that you remain alert, vigilant and secure at all times. To prevent personal and business data loss.
Below are a few handy tips from our weekly phishing blog.
Tip 1 – Inspect the email display name
A major tactic that phishing criminals use is spoofing the display name of an email. For example, a criminal could setup an email to impersonate your bank. Such as:
On closer inspection, you will notice the domain name @mybank.co.uk. This domain name has nothing to do with your bank. This is a classic attempt of phishing.
Always check the email header. If you think its suspicious flag it and alert your IT Provider.
Tip 2 – Hover but don’t click!
Scammers love to embed malware within links in the email copy. The link looks legitimate until you click it and it’s too late. A simple trick is to simply hover you mouse over the link. And take note of the full link displayed. If the full link it looks suspicious rather flag and delete the email.
Tip 3 – Look out for personal or company detail requests
Most businesses will never ask for sensitive credentials via email. And 100% of the time banks will never request any sensitive information via mail.
Any emails requesting you to email back you login credentials is an instant red flag.

Enjoy fun times with Dukes of Daisy companions
You are a strong and independent business woman with a career path trajectory that quite frankly out-shines the Tesla Roadster on any given day. This type of hard work and determination comes from years of self-discipline and dedication to an outcome that you have invested time, money and energy into, sacrificing all else to achieve the dream. The business world is a challenging environment, one where feelings are deemed as weakness and room for error is smaller than your chances of getting a date this Saturday night. When it comes to defining what it is you want out of life, you know what it takes and you know what sacrifices you have to make and you own your choices.
The only problem is your nagging mother who keeps putting a flea in your ear about all work and no play. Bless her, but what does she know about the cutting edge world you live in and how in fact you really aren’t that keen on dealing with screaming, regurgitating infants, snotty toddlers and the tantrums of the terrible twos (through years 3 to 9!) In actual fact, there’s nothing remotely like that that anticipated on your 5 year plan.
Still, no woman is an island and there’s this perpetual rumour about balanced living and healthy lifestyles and even the great outdoors which, if you put your mind to it, you can vaguely remember from your childhood visit to the Lakes District a decade or so ago. Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to safely meet people, without actually leaving your home and putting the pause button on your busy life? A way which doesn’t require a commitment to the process of weeding out the “un-suitable” and pinning down the “possibly-ies”? Where you know what you are getting from the get-go?
Well, Dukes of Daisy has been there, done that and helped thousands to register an escort, rent a friend or Non-Sexual Female Escorts UK and to meet up with someone just like you. If you know what you are looking for, and you do, simply click on to the website and start your search for your next companion date. No Mom, I’m not getting married; I simply wish to enjoy some time-out in a way that I enjoy, with no strings attached. Life has so many variations which do not fit into the traditional perceptions of gender and perpetuating the status quo went out with last year’s fashion colours. Get with the program, rent a friend and choose how you want to spend your time and with who. Doing what you like to do so that you remain focused on the most important thing in your life. That’s YOU. Meeting the expectations of others will never serve you at the end of the day and we all know why that is – because the only person that you have to truly live with is yourself. So go ahead and grab life with both hands the way you want to and forget the judgers and the haters. You have an endless stream of good times ahead and no one is standing in your way. Live the Dukes of Daisy way!

Celebrate the life of your loved one
The passing of a loved one can have a devastating effect on those left behind, especially when the passing is unexpected. Even when the loss is somewhat expected, resulting from a long-term or prolonged illness or disability, nothing can really prepare someone for the day when they receive “that” call.
Sometimes, families have the chance to be with their loved ones at the moment of passing, which can leave them with a sense of peace after the event, knowing that they were by their side in their last moments. However, not everyone is able to experience the last moments with their loved ones and see them pass peacefully on. No matter how it happens, nothing quite prepares a person for the finality of the event.
How and when this happens is not something that anyone is able to ultimately control however what we do have control over is how we chose to remember our loved ones and how we say farewell to them. Everyone is an individual, and when starting to arrange a funeral, there is no greater respect than giving them the farewell that matches how they chose to live their lives. Your loved one can be released in a way that is as original as all of our personalities.
How we say farewell, is not only a reflection on how our dearly beloved wanted to be remembered but so too is it a chance for loved ones to show one last time, just how much that person meant to them. It is a healing rite of passage for the family and the friends who will miss the departed and now struggle with how to imagine their lives without that special person. Having a ceremony at the end of a life, is as much about the living as it is about the departed. Celebrate your loved one by making reference to their hobbies, interests, and career or life experiences and show them how much you respected their life, in other ways such as choosing a modern coffin, using a particular colour theme or dress code for the day, choosing particular music that your loved one enjoyed, or providing photographic displays at the wake.
Historically, funerals are highly ritualised and traditionally aligned to religious ceremonies as formal and earnest in nature. More and more people chose to celebrate life rather than focus on the loss itself and are looking for ways to help them express the love of life that they so keenly feel when someone’s life is lost. Lodge Brothers understand how important a bespoke funeral can be and treat all funerals with the exact level of respect that is required at the end of someone’s life. Lodge Brothers also understand that as different as we are all are in life, is the case in death and offers many ways for families who prefer non-religious or ethnically diverse ceremonies. Regardless of race or religious beliefs, Lodge Brother staff will guide you through the process to help you achieve a ceremony that is right for you and your deceased loved one. If you prefer a non-religious service, it can be arranged for a Humanist or Civil Celebrant to officiate at the funeral.
Whichever way that Lodge Brothers can help you at this important time, is exactly what you can expect to receive, speak to them about how to celebrate the life of your loved one with an alternative memorial.

Your IT Partner in business
Have you ever ordered seafood in a steakhouse? Or prime rib from a seafood restaurant? If you have, then you probably have experienced a poor dining experience and more than likely have left the restaurant wishing that you had ordered the fillet you fancied when you were at the steakhouse, or that calamari you coveted when in the seafood restaurant. As a general rule of thumb, if the restaurant you are frequenting is renowned for a specific type of cuisine, then stick to ordering their specialty and you are certainly more likely to get a more satisfying meal.
In the same way, if your core business isn't IT, why would you do your own IT? Sure, you may have an IT guy who has been supporting your business since inception of your business and who has been called out to your workplace from time to time to disaster manage your email emergencies, or sort out your server when the firewall goes down. Your IT guy is there when you need him but does he proactively attend to your IT issues before problems occur? Are you just moving from one firefighting situation to the next instead of moving forward in your business?
Information Technology is so fundamental to your business that when its not working at optimal performance, chances are, your staff aren't working either and that plays havoc with your profit margins. Any IT downtime doesn’t just cost you to get your IT guy in to investigate and repair the IT issue, but also valuable production time and possibly loss of customer income. The stakes are too high to risk anything less than the best IT support London.
In order to keep your business competitive in a highly aggressive business world, you may then consider creating an IT department and hiring full time technical teams to manage your fundamental information technology. However what you may not realise is how many skills are required to sustain a fully functional IT department. Chances are that you will need more than just one person to replace your IT guy as there are a variety of skills and different expertise required to sustain your company’s IT department. Consider why would you turn your “steakhouse” business into a “seafood” provider, ifyour expertise is preparing and cooking meat?
