The following is another reason to make sure your patches are being installed, both from the hardware, such as the maker of your phone, or other device, and software standpoint. Not doing your updates may subject you to more continued spam, and one slip up could cause much greater problems…
Have you experienced a sudden increase in email or text spams? If not consider yourself lucky, but not necessarily out of the woods yet!
About two weeks ago an email spam increase seem to occur. Luckily and just by chance a decision to start taking snapshots of the email spams was made as multiple emails occurred from a regular go to flight provider located here in Dallas, Southwest!
Counter Action Problems – Better than the Alternative
With an electronic fax delivery system and email delivery of this post being blocked, the largest providers, most notably, Microsoft have taken note and attempted to raise the gates. This increase in their spam filters, garners unintended consequences such as a loss of the route delivery of the aforementioned items. In our case, our IT department re-issued safe acceptance of our key items, and we were back in business.
Think to yourself if you are missing a regular contact from something, your provider may have blocked while trying to attempt coverage of this new Spam attack!
Examples of the last two weeks record keeping! Do not bite!
The Golf Cart is my favorite and most clever… Not sure where the Ace Hardware came from!
Have a Great Spam Update Reminder Day!

Updates from the Conference – Today’s FOMC Announcement Analysis – Cyber Security …
As mentioned last week, the first in-person large conference in some time is going on this week…. It is very nice to see everyone “In Person” …. we had forgotten just how full the schedules are during these events … full day ahead …
Briefly our two most important topics so far!
FOMC – Federal Open Market Committee Thoughts for Today’s Announcment
Just after lunch hour today the FOMC lead by Jerome Powell are set to raise rates (Fed Funds Rates – think overnight checkbook rate) by .75% (75 basis points) ….
The experts here say focus on the future (for the record we have been crowing on looking forward throughout this slowdown see here and here – digressing) as the Wall Street chatter is a step down possibility at the next meeting to a .50% — a firming of the higher .75% increase as the next meeting OR an even softer talk of maybe no .50% would be market moving… again according to our experts…
Cybersecurity – No Email of Social Security or the Like Documents
Condensing this event into one important topic – we all need to make sure we do not send documents with Social Security numbers or the like through email…. the hackers are just too good…
This is more of a reminder for all… but as we enter tax season next year, a good reminder!
Alright, that is it for now, a quick jog and workout… then to breakfast and back in doors for a full scheduld of events today!
