Cybercriminal

We’re on the cutting edge of detecting and obliterating fraudulent emails that could be the first step in a title insurance scheme.

This week, I’m visiting you from a nondescript vacant lot on the outskirts of Pasadena, California. “Armand,” you ask. “You’re a long way from Davos! You’re usually in such posh locations when you report to us for Tech Essentials.”

If only you could eavesdrop on the (cybercriminal) eavesdroppers...

Armand here again, RPost’s product evangelist. As I mentioned last week, while ringing in the Chinese and Lunar New Year, the Year of the Dragon, I got wind of the latest cybercriminal heist. 

‘Hats Off’ to all those essential workers who make modern business possible.

We’re building out an update of our LAX Los Angeles conference center and looking forward to inviting all those IT staffers the world over with whom we’ve been connecting via video meetings—but this time in person.

Check out our latest company-saving feature, which was inspired by IT professionals, built for IT professionals, and is now available worldwide in 19 languages.

There’s this boba tea place near my house (there’s probably one near every house now), which has great tea, but it also has one of the most annoyingly frustrating, yet addictive diversions known to man: a claw machine game.

Are you a routine kind of Guy or Gal?

Falling Prey to a Lookalike Domain scheme can get your entire organization and its clients in major trouble.

Alexander Pope famously wrote, “to err is human, to forgive divine.” It’s usually a nice, refined thing to say to someone when you screw up—the implication is that people make mistakes, and to look past those mistakes is an uncommonly gracious thing to do. 

Summer is all about baseball, but it’s also about cybercriminal lures targeting lawyers, insurance professionals, and any business that accepts credit cards.

With July 4th in the rear-view mirror, we’re now in peak summer season, which means baseball season. (I happen to love baseball and equate it with long summer nights, hot dogs, sprinklers, and days off from school.)

A blissful way to counter payment paranoia.

Now there’s another common syndrome in the working world that I’d like to shed a light on: “Payment Paranoia”.

It’s summer now, and you’re going to be headed on a nice vacation soon. You’re putting together all your to-do lists so you can truly escape from the office without anyone bothering you. About a week out from your big trip, you ask your colleague, Jerry, to cover for you on some key accounts. Jerry, being the mensch that he is, agrees. After crafting that clever out-of-office reply, you’re now ready to send over your login credentials to Jerry who happens to work remotely in Tashkent. 

“If I have to read one more article or see one more talking head on TV rant about the coming AI apocalypse, about how the Terminator/Matrix movies are coming to reality, about how my job will disappear as soon as next week, I’ll move to a cabin in the woods!” This quotation has been uttered en masse all year long, in some form or another, and most recently by Taylor Swift (kidding).
