It's convenient, easy, and allows us to buy items from the comfort of our homes. But with the rise of online shopping, there are concerns about privacy and security. Not all shopping apps are created equally. Often people get excited and install an app without checking privacy practices. Apps can collect more data from your smartphone than you realize. Whether you use your phone for personal use, business use, or both, your data can be at risk. So can your privacy.Shady Data Collection Practices from Popular Shopping App SHEINRecently, security experts found a popular shopping app spying on users' copy-and-paste activity. This app was tracking users' keystrokes, screenshots, and even their GPS location. This raises the question: Is your online shopping app invading your privacy? SHEIN is the app in question, and it's a popular shopping app with millions of users. According to reports, researchers found the app collecting data from users' clipboards. This included any text that users copied and pasted. This means that if the user copied and pasted sensitive information, the app would have access to it. Including things like passwords or credit card numbers. Not only that but the app was also found to be tracking users' GPS location. SHEIN was also collecting data from device sensors, including the accelerometer and gyroscope. This means that the app was able to track users' movements. As well as collecting information about how they were using their device. The app's developers claimed that the data collection was for "optimizing user experience.” A very vague explanation that’s used by other app developers as well. The developers stated that the collected data was only used for internal purposes. But this explanation wasn't enough to please privacy experts. Those experts raised concerns about the app's data collection practices.Temu Data Collection Practices Questioned This isn't the first time people caught an app grabbing data without users' knowledge. Many popular apps collect data from their users, often for targeted advertising purposes. The popularity of the shopping app Temu has been exploding recently. Since the app appeared in a Superbowl Ad in 2023, people have been flocking to itBut Temu is another shopping app with questionable data collection practices. Some of the data that Temu collects includes: • Your name, address, phone number • Details you enter, like birthday, photo, and social profiles • Your phone’s operating system and version • Your IPS address and GPS location (if enabled) • Your browsing dataSo, what can you do to protect your privacy when using online shopping apps? Read on for a few tips.Tips to Protect Your Privacy When Using Shopping AppsKnow What You’re Getting Into (Read the Privacy Policy) Yes, it’s hard to stop and read a long privacy policy when you just want to use an app. But, if you don’t, you could end up sharing a lot more than you realize.Before downloading an app, make sure to read its privacy policy. This will give you an idea of what data the app takes and how it's used. You can try searching keywords like “collect” and “your data” to save time. This can help you jump to data collection details. If you do this before you download, you may change your mind. After learning how much data the app collects from you, you may decide it just isn’t worth it.Turn Off Sharing Features Turn off any data-sharing features you don’t need in your phone’s settings. Such as location services. Most smartphones allow you to choose which apps you want to use it with. Explore both your phone settings and the app’s settings to restrict data sharing as much as possible. Remove Apps You Don’t Use If you’re not using the app regularly, remove it from your phone. Having unused apps on your phone is a big risk. Even if they’re not actively in use, those apps can still collect data. For example, browsing activity or your activity in other mobile apps.Research Apps Before You Download It’s easy to get caught up in a fad. You hear your friend talk about an app, and you want to check it out. But it pays to research before you download. Look up the app and check security and data collection keywords. Inform yourself first before downloading an app that might be compromising your device data and activity.Shop on a Website Instead You can limit the dangerous data collection of shopping apps by using a website instead. Most legitimate companies have an official website. One where you can buy the same things as you can buy using the app. Improve Your Mobile Device Security 11 Mobile devices are regularly used more than computers. But they often lack the same type of security. Give us a call today to schedule a chat about protecting your mobile device data.Article used with permission from The Technology Press.
Will AI Fix Work? The pace of work is outpacing our ability to keep up. AI is poised to create a whole new way of working.The platform shift to AI is underway and will completely transform the way people work. And for many, the fix can't come soon enough. The pace of work has increased exponentially—along with the crush of data, information, and always-on communications. People are struggling to shoulder the weight of it all, while business leaders feel pressure to increase productivity amid economic uncertainty. We spend more and more of our days separating the signal from the noise—at the expense of creativity. And the tax on individual productivity is compounding, undermining organizational productivity and global GDP.AI can help lift the burden. To date, AI has mostly been on autopilot. Now, next-generation copilots will work alongside people, freeing us from digital debt and fueling innovation. Organizations that embrace AI will unleash creativity and unlock productivity for everyone—ushering in a new wave of productivity growth and value creation.“This new generation of AI will remove the drudgery of work and unleash creativity,” said Satya Nadella, Chairman and CEO, Microsoft. “There's an enormous opportunity for AI-powered tools to help alleviate digital debt, build AI aptitude, and empower employees.”To ready leaders and businesses for the age of AI, we surveyed 31,000 people in 31 countries and analyzed trillions of Microsoft 365 productivity signals, along with labor trends from the LinkedIn Economic Graph. The data points to three urgent insights business leaders must know as they look to quickly and responsibly adopt AI.1. Digital debt is costing us innovationWe’re all carrying digital debt: the inflow of data, emails, meetings, and notifications has outpaced humans’ ability to process it all. And the pace of work is only intensifying. Everything feels important, so we spend our workdays trying to get out of the red. Nearly 2 in 3 people (64%) say they struggle with having the time and energy to do their job—and those people are 3.5x more likely to also struggle with innovation and strategic thinking. And nearly 2 in 3 leaders (60%) are already feeling the effects, saying that a lack of innovation or breakthrough ideas on their teams is a concern. There are only so many minutes in the day—and every minute we spend managing this digital debt is a minute not spent on the creative work that leads to innovation. In a world where creativity is the new productivity, digital debt is more than an inconvenience—it’s impacting business.Download the executive summaryFor a PDF for the full report, see below.The Weight of the WorkdayWith the balance of work hours spent communicating, 68% of people say they don’t have enough uninterrupted focus time during the workday.68% of people say they don’t have enough uninterrupted focus time during the workday.Hours worked, workday span, and time spent in meetings have steadily increased over the past few years—it’s easier than ever to communicate and harder than ever to keep up. Taking a closer look at how people spend their time, it’s clear that a lack of focus time, the search for information, and the volume of constant communications have an opportunity cost. Sixty-eight percent of people say they don’t have enough uninterrupted focus time during the workday. And 62% of survey respondents say they struggle with too much time spent searching for information in their workday. Across the Microsoft 365 apps, the average employee spends 57% of their time communicating (in meetings, email, and chat) and 43% creating (in documents, spreadsheets, and presentations).1 The heaviest email users (top 25%) spend 8.8 hours a week on email, and the heaviest meeting users (top 25%) spend 7.5 hours a week in meetings.2 And this global average includes frontline workers— for knowledge workers, who rely even more on digital communication, the share of the week taken up by emails and meetings is even greater. AI can tip the balance in people’s favor to reclaim time and energy for the important work that fuels innovation.Top 5 Obstacles to ProductivityThe data reveals an urgent need to make meetings more effective—people report ‘inefficient meetings’ as their number one productivity disruptor.Take meetings, for example. People report that the number one productivity disruptor is inefficient meetings, followed closely by having too many meetings at number three. Most people say it’s difficult to brainstorm in a virtual meeting (58%) or catch up if they joined a meeting late (57%), that next steps at the end of a meeting are unclear (55%), and that it’s hard to summarize what happens (56%). And since February 2020, people are in 3x more Teams meetings and calls per week (192%).The data shows a clear need to make meetings better. Today, only 1 in 3 people (35%) think they would be missed in the majority of their meetings. But meeting FOMO is real. Asked what makes meetings worthwhile, people’s top motivation was, “I will receive information that will help me do my job better”—ahead of giving feedback, making decisions, or advancing their career. With AI, every meeting becomes a digital artifact. When meetings are more than a point in time, you can engage and interact with them when and how it works best for you, whether synchronously or asynchronously. Take action:Identify and address your organization’s productivity disruptors with insights from employee listening.Radically rethink the workday. As AI frees up time and energy, protect focus time for the creative work that leads to innovation.Think of meetings as a digital artifact and not just a point in time. Encourage people to leverage AI-powered intelligent meeting recaps, transcripts, and recordings to engage with meetings how and when it works best for them. 2. There’s a new AI-employee allianceAmid concerns of AI replacing jobs, the data revealed an unexpected insight: employees are more eager for AI to lift the weight of work than they are afraid of job loss to AI. While 49% of people say they’re worried AI will replace their jobs, even more—70%—would delegate as much work as possible to AI to lessen their workloads.“It’s fascinating that people are more excited about AI rescuing them from burnout than they are worried about it eliminating their jobs,” said author and organizational psychology professor Adam Grant. And it turns out people are looking for AI to help in almost every aspect of their work. Not only did 3 in 4 people tell us they would be comfortable using AI for administrative tasks (76%), but most people also said they would be comfortable using it for analytical (79%) and even creative work (73%). People are also looking for AI to assist with finding the right information and answers they need (86%), summarizing their meetings and action items (80%), and planning their day (77%).“It’s fascinating that people are more excited about AI rescuing them from burnout than they are worried about it eliminating their jobs.”And the AI optimism doesn’t stop there. People also believe it can enhance creativity, from formulating ideas for their work (76%) to editing their work (75%). The more people understand AI, the more they see its promise to help with the most meaningful parts of their jobs. For example, 87% of workers in creative roles3 who are extremely familiar with AI said they’d be comfortable using AI for creative aspects of their job.AI’s Productivity PromiseAmid fears of AI job loss, business leaders are 2x more likely to choose ‘increasing employee productivity’ than ‘reducing headcount’ when asked what they would most value about AI in the workplace.The data shows that business leaders are looking to empower people with AI rather than replace them—they’re 2x more interested in using AI to increase productivity than to cut headcount. In fact, reducing headcount was last on the list of what leaders would value from AI. After “increasing productivity,” leaders’ top hopes for AI are to: help employees with necessary but repetitive tasks, increase employee wellbeing, eliminate employee time spent on low-value activities, enhance employees’ capabilities, and accelerate employees’ pace of work.Work in 2030: What People Want—That AI Can Deliver Asked to imagine work in 2030, people we surveyed say they’d most value changes that saved them time—like producing high-quality work and learning new skills faster.We also asked employees and managers to envision how work could change by 2030. Their answers paint a bright future—fueled by AI. When asked what changes they value most, people imagined producing high-quality work in half the time (33%), being able to understand the most valuable ways to spend their time (26%) and energy (25%), and never having to mentally absorb unnecessary or irrelevant information again (23%). And with AI poised to remake work, the future will arrive in months not years.Take action:Bring leaders together across the organization to create guardrails that help people experiment safely and responsibly with AI.Be intentional and programmatic. Like any platform shift, adopting AI at scale requires change management. Pick specific disciplines, processes, and workflows to test and learn, and identify evangelists to lead the charge. As you begin to adopt AI, deploy it where people need the most relief based on your organization’s pain points and challenges.3. Every employee needs AI aptitudeThe paradigm shift to AI as copilot requires a whole new way of working—and a new AI aptitude. Working alongside AI—using natural language—will be as inherent to how we work as the internet and the PC. Skills like critical thinking and analytical judgment, complex problem solving, and creativity and originality are new core competencies—and not just for technical roles or AI experts. Leaders we surveyed said it’s essential that employees learn when to leverage AI, how to write great prompts, how to evaluate creative work, and how to check for bias. As AI reshapes work, human-AI collaboration will be the next transformational work pattern—and the ability to work iteratively with AI will be a key skill for every employee.New Skills for a New Way of Working‘Analytical judgment,’ ‘flexibility,’ and ‘emotional intelligence’ top the list of skills leaders believe will be essential for employees in an AI-powered future.Learning isn’t keeping up with the pace of work. Already, 60% of people say they don’t currently have the right capabilities to get their work done. AI will open new paths for learning, and success depends on leaders equipping employees for an AI-powered future.82% of leaders say their employees will need new skills to be prepared for the growth of AI.And they’ll need to start building those new skills today: there are 33x as many LinkedIn posts mentioning topics like generative AI and GPT than there were one year ago. “We’re in the next phase of change with the introduction of generative AI, and it’s already starting to reshape the labor market,” said Karin Kimbrough, chief economist at LinkedIn. “While it’s still early days, this shift will expand opportunities, create new roles, and augment productivity.” In fact, as of March 2023, the share of US job postings on LinkedIn mentioning GPT are already up 79% year-over-year. And 82% of leaders in our survey say their employees will need new skills to be prepared for the growth of AI.Take action:Help people embrace a new way of working, starting with building AI aptitude—from practicing prompt engineering to fact-checking and verifying AI-generated content.Leverage learning resources and crowdsource best practices from employees as they adapt to AI as copilot. Consider how roles and functions can evolve alongside AI, creating opportunities for reinvention.The Path ForwardAI is poised to lift the weight of work—and has great potential to free people from digital debt and fuel innovation. And for both overwhelmed employees and leaders looking to bolster productivity, that promise is overdue. But AI won’t simply “fix” work—it will create a whole new way of working. Leaders will need to help employees learn to work responsibly alongside AI to reap the rewards of the AI-employee alliance: more value creation for businesses and a brighter, more fulfilling future of work for everyone.Download 2023 Work Trend Index: Annual Report "Will AI Fix Work?"

It has nearly 231 million subscribers around the world. It has been growing steadily for almost a decade. The platform has become an essential part of many people's daily entertainment routines. They fire up their devices, log in, and pick right back up on their favorite shows. Unfortunately, like any online service, Netflix accounts can be vulnerable to hacking. It’s a baked-in risk when you have a service that is only protected by a username and password. If you experience an account hack, it can be shocking, confusing, and infuriating. You may not know exactly what to do and may react without thinking first. This is a dangerous space to be in because it can cause you to do things that only make things worse. In this article, we’ll give you the steps to take when you suspect someone has hacked your Netflix account. Let’s first cover how hackers typically operate when deploying an account takeover.How Does a Netflix Hack Typically Work? Phishing overload is a problem that hackers take advantage of in these types of breaches. People receive fake emails all the time that spoof brands like Netflix. One common phishing ploy is an email stating, “There has been suspicious activity on your account.” It will include a link to log in to a spoofed site that looks like the brand’s normal login page. This is a classic trick to steal your login credentials.Hacked Netflix accounts typically go for $12 each on the dark web. People get numb to these emails because they get so many of them. They tend to tune them out, knowing that clicking on them could be dangerous. Hackers take advantage of this, hoping you’ll ignore the real ones from Netflix that warn you of a suspicious login (theirs!). They lay low and don’t take any action yet that will lock you out. They wait for you to receive a few more of these emails, so you’ll completely ignore them. Then they attempt a takeover. Accounts hacks can go in various ways. Here is one typical scenario of a Netflix hack:• The account owner gets an email about a suspicious login. Often it will be from a different country. • They may log into their Netflix account to see if there are any unknown devices logged in. Usually, none will show yet. The hacker logs back out. The goal is to get you to check and see that nothing is wrong, and assume the real notice is phishing. • This same scenario may happen 2-4 more times in the span of a month. 10 • Once the hacker feels the user is ignoring the Netflix warnings, they’ll make their move. • They add their credit card to your account. This is so they can call Netflix and give them a method of verification. • They may increase your subscription plan to a higher level. They also usually replace any user profile names on your account with numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) • At this point, the account owner will typically receive an email. It will note a change in account information. This could be the account email, password, phone number, etc. • The hacker is now trying to lock the account owner out of their account.What Do You Do If Someone Has Hacked Your Netflix Account?1. Go to the Netflix site & try to log in. If you suspect a hacked account, visit the Netflix site directly from your browser. Do not go through a link you received via email, DM, or SMS. See if you can log in using your password. You may be able to if you caught the hacker before they’ve locked you out. If not, then skip to Step 4 below, calling Netflix support. 2. If you can log in, change your password immediately. If you can log into your account, change the password right away. Ensure it’s a strong password that is at least 10-12 characters in length. It should also include a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols. Do not use a variation of the breached password. You should not use any part of your old password to create the new one.3. If you can log in, remove any strange payment methodsIf you can still access your account and settings, go to the payment methods area. Often hackers will add another payment card to your account. They use it to verify the account to Netflix support. Remove any strange payment method that is not yours. But if you remove your own payment card, you will need another way to verify your account with Netflix. So, at this point, you may want to call before you do that.4. Call Netflix support. (Don’t skip this step) Everyone’s experience may be different. Some users that have gone through a hack have praised the fast and helpful support from Netflix. Contact Netflix support whether you have or have not succeeded in logging in. There may be things the hacker has done that you aren’t aware of. They may have changed subscription information. Let the support representative know you think you're the victim of an account hack. They’ll walk you through the process of undoing what the hacker has done.5. Watch your bank statements. Continue to watch your bank statements for any unusual charges. You should do this after any account hack.6. Change the password for other accounts that used the same one as your Netflix account. People often use the same or the nearly same password for several accounts. Make sure to change the password for any accounts that used the one that was just hacked.Get Help Securing Your Passwords & Accounts Don’t wait until a hack happens to you.

But they’re not really thinking about their wireless printer getting breached. It’s a tool that most individuals use sporadically. For example, when you want to print out tax forms or mailing labels. Printers tend to be out of sight, out of mind. That is until you need to print something and run out of ink. Well, they’re not out of the mind of hackers. In fact, unsecured printers are a classic way for criminals to gain access to a home network. To illustrate this point, Cybernews purposely hacked printers. It hijacked nearly 28,000 unsecured printers globally. The success rate was 56%. What did it do once it gained access? Ironically, it made the printers print out a guide on printer security.Are you wondering how exposed your network is from your printer? We’ve got some security tips below to help. These tips can enable you to better secure your network, which keeps data on all devices more secure.1. Change the Default Login Credentials When you buy a new printer, it will likely have included default information. Manufacturers give you a way to connect and set up your device. This usually involves default login information. Immediately change that information during set up. Hackers use a master list of all these defaults. They plug it into an automated script and just keep trying them all until they get a hit. Change these, and make sure you create a strong password. 2. Keep Printer Firmware UpdatedKeeping firmware updated is vital to keeping your printer secure. Hardware needs updating just like computers, software, and apps do. Those updates often contain important security patches. Firmware updates aren’t usually as visible as software updates. Software and OS updates usually give you a popup notification. But updates to the drivers and firmware that run printers, aren’t so visible. Some of the places you can check for firmware updates are: • The PC manufacturer’s utility app on a connected device • The printer’s information panel • The printer manufacturer’s app installed on a PC3. Use a Network Firewall A network firewall is important to ensure the monitoring of traffic. Firewalls can block suspicious activity to keep hackers out of your network. You should configure the firewall to watch incoming and outgoing printer traffic.4. Put Your Printer on a Guest Network 10 Most of today’s home routers allow you to set up a guest network. This is a separate Wi-Fi that runs from the same router you use for your main network. It’s harder for hackers to get from one network to another. Keeping a less secure device separated from computers and phones improves security. You can still print to your printer from devices on another network. You just need to have things configured correctly. If you need help with that, just let us know.5. Disable Unused Ports or Services IoT devices, like printers, often have many ways to connect. You may not need all the ports or services that come with your printer. These ports are risk areas where hackers could find a way in. It’s best to disable any ports and sharing features that you don’t need. This reduces the risk of a breach. 6. Unplug It When Not in UseMost home printers aren’t used as much as work printers. People may only use them once a month or a few times a year. If you’re not using your printer constantly, unplug it when not in use. One surefire way to cut off a hacker’s access is to unplug the device. When it’s shut down, no access is available at all.7. Teach Your Family Cybersecurity Best Practices Your printer is one device on your network. Most families connect several devices to their home Wi-Fi. In 2022, the average number of connected devices per U.S. household was 22. Families need to know and adopt good cyber habits. This keeps everyone’s data more secure. It also helps you avoid costly identity theft breaches. Or the takeover of things like baby monitors. Some standard best practices to follow for good cyber hygiene are: • Always use strong passwords. (at least 10-12 characters & include a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols)• Keep software & firmware on devices updated • Use multi-factor authentication wherever possible • Enable device firewalls & other protections • All devices that should have a good antivirus installed • Never login to an account from a link you receive via email or text • Learn how to identify phishing & get a second opinion before clicking • Get a security checkup from a pro at least every year or twoGet Some Help Keeping Your Family’s Data Secure 11 IT pros don’t only work with businesses.
