Technical Tidbits™

I would like to extend an invitation to all my readers to join me in the discussion of this very important topic on Frontline Results with Louise Barnes-Johnston.

As Louise states on her BlogTalk Radio page for the radio show Monday, 10 AM CDT (4 PM BST):

Would you know what to do if it happened to you? Do you have a WordPress website? If your business depends on getting enquiries or sales through your website then people being warned not to visit could have serious consequences – to put it mildly! This show is about what happened when my friend and colleague Sam McArthur of Forty First Internet Marketing suffered this awful experience. I’ll be speaking with Sam (in the UK) and with PC Security expert Debbie Mahler of MICE Technology & Training (in the USA) to find out what steps they took to resolve the problems and secure the site again. Join us if you want to avoid being a victim of hacking.

As you may remember, I’ve discussed this hack with you on this blog before.  First in the post: WP Blog Owners! Check Your .htaccess Files! and then again in a follow-up post: Follow-up on WP .htaccess Hack.

If you have a WP blog site, or know someone who does, I really recommend that you join Louise, Sam, and myself by calling into the show (347) 202-0208 or listening online live at the show page on BlogTalk Radio by clicking here.  Remember, it’s 10 AM Central Daylight Time (Chicago Time) or 4 PM British Standard Time on Monday, March 29.

If you call in or chat live, you can ask questions! Now’s your chance to get your WP security questions answered!

Symantec is beta testing their new Norton Online Family Service aimed at child online safety.

Symantec is about to launch a new online safety service for your family that lets you check in on what each child in your family is doing online, no matter where you are. It’s easy to set up, access, and use. You can see which sites each child visits, how long they spend there, and how long they’ve been online. You can also set limits on what websites each child can visit, what terms they can’t search, who they can talk to, and how long they can be online.
