For example how hackers can get into your Social Media accounts like Facebook is they have a list of passwords that you used in the past (typically from a shopping website that got hacked) and they do trial and error on all social media sights and even bank sites.
A good recommendation is to use randomly generated passwords a good tool for this is if you have your Gmail signed in and are using Google Chrome when you go to create an account sometimes an arrow that is performing a full circle will appear in the corner this is to generate a random password.
An alternative to the above method as it does not always appear when you create an account is to sign up for a Password manager such as Last Pass as they store all your passwords on a secured server and can work on Smart Phones too.
You can check us out on our website or feel free to email lsayers@flct.org.nz as we are more than happy to answer any questions you might have about passwords, security or technology in general.
All funds raised from our IT services goes towards helping Freedom Living support the physically disabled community nationwide!

Kiwis deserve better, which is why we’re fighting for power affordability for all of us. But we can’t do it alone.
Join us in the Revolt to bring power prices down, by signing the petition to demand that the Government reforms NZ’s broken electricity market. #Powergate ✊🏾 ✊🏿 ✊🏼 ✊🏽

There is a diameter 50cm big pothole in Pikarere Street, Titahi Bay, Porirua.
It had been there for more than 15days by now.
It is getting bigger with people and Wellington waste water trucks going down the hill direction along Pikarere Street.
I want hear what my neighbours are saying about it, please!
Because I am feeling scared, I am going to drive following the bus routine to go down hill. By the way I can keep me and my assets safe, I think.
Kind Regards!
