A Hacker

Shirley from Newlands

Kia Ora Neighbours

Recently, my PC has been hacked and the hacker used my landline to call a mobile phone.
Currently most of the landline are on WiFi; Once the hacker broken into the computer and will able to get your landline numbers, so that he/she can make calls without physically held a phone.
Please be aware any suspicious calls made from your landline, check your bill and contact your internet provider and police - the action is a crime - my personal view.
Naturally I updated all necessary protection on my PC.

To the HACKER:
I will use the opportunity to tell you.
Please stop your behalf. I have the date, time, usage and cellphone numbers, which you made the call.
Monday 8:58 am on 19 July 2021and used 3.25 minutes.
You are in New Zealand.
Please use your time to do good works instead hack other people’s property.
I forgive you, but you will be caught if you continue to hacking.
Also, your own convenience will reveal one day.

May God Bless All.

Six tips for improving security around your home

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

1) Improve outdoor lighting
Ensure that streets, driveways, and front yards are well-lit. Motion-sensor lights around homes deter trespassers by reducing hiding spots and illuminating their movements.

2) Trim your trees
Overgrown shrubs and trees provide cover for intruders. Keeping them well-trimmed around windows and doors improves visibility and reduces potential hiding spots.

3) Secure Entry Points
Ensure doors, windows, and gates are always closed when you are away from the house. Upgrade to more secure locks, deadbolts, or even smart locks for added protection.

4) Add a security camera
Place security cameras in the main entry points to your home. Doorbell cameras are also relatively cheap and a great way to keep track of who is visiting your home when you aren't there.

5) Start a Neighborhood Watch Program
You could reach out to members on Neighbourly to form a group of neighbors who can regularly keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it. You could also check with Neighbourhood Support to see what is existing in your area.

6) Introduce yourself to your neighbours
The closer you are to your neighbors, the more likely they’ll notice when something unusual or suspicious is happening around your property

Feel free to share anything that you do around your area to deter crime.
