It’s Your Fault You Got Hacked
Posted by: | Comments
Hacking of facebook accounts, twitter accounts, email and more has become rampant on the internet. If you spend enough time on social media sites you will see at least a few spammy posts a day that you know are not being posted by that person but instead by some malicious app. Once the person gets their account back they will apologize for whatever content they posted or messaged you and act like they have no idea how it happened.
Here is the reality if your social media or email accounts get hacked there is a 99.99% chance that you somehow started the chain of events that made it happen. Now a lot of people will dismiss that idea right away. The reality though is if you really think about it having that information means you have the power to be almost 99.99% sure that you won’t be hacked again. Read More→

An Open Letter to Brighthouse
Posted by: | CommentsDear Brighthouse,
This letter comes as a culmination of years of frustration with your company and services. I have been a customer for over 3 years now in the same house and have intermittent internet issues basically the whole time. I probably report 10% of the time when my internet is down and if you look at my account you will see I have called a whole lot of times. Many times the outages are only a few minutes at a time and I let it slide because I already know how pointless it will be to ask for your help.
Sometimes however the outages go much longer like yesterday so I decided to be a glutton for punishment and make a call to you. I had about 10 min of internet total between 2pm and 11pm yesterday. As someone who does all their work on the internet this is a really big deal for me. So I called…and it started as it always does. I explain the problem I am having and explain this has been going on forever. They automatically move along to questioning me about my router. I try to cut them off at the pass because it seems Brighthouse phone techs have been given hours and hours of extensive training on how to blame any problem no matter what it may be on the fact that you have your own router.
