Welcome
to our November Newsletter / Tech Update. In this months newsletter
we talk about a few new security issues, a new collective that
DP Computing is part of, our regular Out & About section and
lastly links to our latest blog articles.
SA Technology
Collective
I am lucky to be one
of the inaugural members of a new group called the
South Australian Technology Collective. The Collective is
a group of complimentary business who can provide a total digital
solution for your business. We are passionate about supporting
and enabling business owners to solve many of the challenges they
face using digital technology in this rapidly evolving field.
I will be including more details of the Collective in upcoming
newsletters but in the meantime please contact myself or check
out our website at www.satechnology.com.au
for more details.
Security
Issues
Recently their have
been a couple of significant security breaches. The first relates
to the KRACK wifi vulnerability - for more details check out our
article:

The second is a malware
program called Bad Rabbit. Bad Rabbit will encrypt all files on
the local computer and also attempt to break into other computers
on the local network. Make sure all your antivirus and operating
systems are upto date and contact us to install the Bad Rabbit
vaccine to help you stop getting infected.
Grow Your
Business Expo
On the 9th of November
we will be exhibiting at the Grow Your Business Expo in Tonsley.
This is a large regional event showcasing exhibitors which offer
business to business support and the latest in technology to help
businesses thrive.
This is a FREE event

Out &
About in October
As usual we have been
busy in October, some of our adventures include:
- David P and Dave
F attending the SMBiT Professinals annual conference in Brisbane.
We both learnt a lot of new business and technical topics as
well as meeting a lot of vendors and other computer techs from
around Australia.
- David attended a
buiness breakfast at Titanium Arena (home of the Adelaide 36ers).
As well as a great talk by the 36er's coach, David met some
of the players, had a tour of the changerooms and went onto
the main court.
