FBI warning about wireless routers. UPDATE

-
If you own one of these devices listed below you need to reboot and do a hard reset of your router.
Remember when I mentioned that the FBI issued a warning about Russian hackers targeting home devices.  Here it is. 
There are about 500,000 of these which have been infected and need to be cleaned.  
Resetting to factory default settings is the ONLY way to be sure you have Cleaned and Removed the infection.  See manufacturer website for details! 

New analysis suggests MANY more manufacturers have been affected.  My own router is not yet on the list but I'm going  to do a factory reset and change all the settings. 

Sigh.  Better safe  than hacked.

Smart Home tips.

Smart home technology is becoming ever more popular.  But everyone forgets about one key component that can ruin your experience.  Your home router.   Most people who are not tech savvy use their providers router.   These are typically capable of handling up to 6 devices without major slow downs.   Once you add that 7th device, things become sluggish.  Add 8 and your network may seem downright slow.    My home has about 18 devices 7-12 of which are active all the time.   I use a mid-high end ASUS router with 8 antenna and 3 networks across multiple channels.   I divide my traffic up by putting TV's, Lights, and other appliance types on 1 network.    I put computers, desktop and laptops on the second wireless network. And my phones and kids tablets are on the third network.   I also have an Akita Smart home Monitoring device in addition to my routers packet inspection and firewall features....

What is the "Cloud"?

-
The cloud is a fancy name for someone else's computer.  That's really what it comes down to at the highest most basic level. There are several major "cloud" providers and different types of "clouds" for various purposes. For example, at my day job I am building an entire virtual computer infrastructure in one of the major cloud provider environments (Google, Amazon, Microsoft).   I'm building multiple virtual servers and routers and firewalls to duplicate our existing aging physical infrastructure while me transition to more modern architecture. You, if you are an entrepreneur or just want to have more computing power for your projects, can go to one of these providers and build apps, or servers on those systems directly. I mean, literally if you wanted to build yourself a video editing server, you could log into Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services and create an Extremely powerful server in about 30 minutes (including time to setup your init...

Ordering or paying online, is it SAFE?

Probably, but you must be AWARE. If you are paying for something online and it says anything OTHER than "HTTPS://"  It isn't SAFE to enter your credit card information. Any trustworthy site should have https://. I recently came across a group of entrepreneurs who were in the process of starting online businesses. One of them asked for volunteers to test their payment page with the reward being their course for an extremely low cost price. So I thought I would check it out since I love to learn.  I went to the page, and was looking around and as I was pulling out my card to type in the information I paused because something wasn't right.  I noticed it did not say HTTPS  yet was asking for a credit card . (I look for those things AUTOMATICALLY.  I don't even have to think.)    I then looked at the certificate of the page and the certificate for the site did not match. On modern browsers you can view site certificates with a single or two clic...
