Tasks for the weekend March 6 – check your logins
Posted on March 6th, 2021 at 23:32 Comment on the AskWoody LoungeFor those of you that do use Microsoft accounts, do you check your log in history?
I mean your ONLINE log in history?
Go here – sign in – and see if you see any suspicious activity. Do you recognize all of those log ins and where they came from?
If you do see unusual activity, investigate if anyone got into your accounts. Change your password and investigate two factor protection. Consider shutting down whatever access you don’t want.

Plus member bonus – Exchange security issue
Posted on March 6th, 2021 at 22:59 Comment on the AskWoody LoungeFor those of you that are small businesses, I have uploaded to the Master Patch list page some special links, resources and a Plus member only video discussing the huge security issue going on right now with Microsoft email servers.
I don’t normally tell you to patch early. If you are a small business and still run a mail server running Microsoft software, I HOPE that your consultant or IT department already installed those out of band updates. If you have not, your mail server may need to be rebuilt and all (and I do mean ALL) of your passwords changed. Like now.
Edit: if you’ve been impacted, the FBI wants to hear from you.
