- Episode 165 - Watch Out For The Computer Support Virus Scam Phone Calls
I was sitting in my home office and the phone rang. A guy on the other end with a hard accent said his name was 'Mark' and said he detected viruses on my computer for several days. He goes on to try to scare me with computer terms and eventually pitches a $200 security cleaner.
This call, like many others, were a scam. There is no software, no viruses, no detections from random companies on the Internet only criminals.
This episode breaks down this scam and many like it and tell you simple steps to avoid them... hang up and forget about it.
Here is a collection of scam calls I recorded

5 min - Episode 163 - Shared Accounts In Companies Are Still A Major Problem
In businesses it's a common and bad practice for IT administrators to share accounts. The practice lowers the number of high privilege accounts in a company but by doing so removes the ability of proper accountability, tracking and control. Over the years the government ISC-CERT team as been putting organizational account practices higher on the risk lists.
• Lack of accountability and traceability for user actions if an account is compromised
• Increased difficulty in securing accounts as personnel leave the organization, especially sensitive for users with administrator access
This episode goes into the details and solution on how to get control of your privileged accounts.
Be aware, be safe.
