This is a short one – I’ve recently phoned my bank and my insurance companies. It’s not because I live a high flying lifestyle, but because I live in the modern world and you can’t do everything on the internet.
What are the security questions they ask? Mother’s maiden name, blood type (or is that only HMRC?) and BIRTHDAY.
These are all supposed to be items of information easily known to you, but more difficult for a potential thief/scammer/fraudster to know. Yet lots of people advertise this information on their publicly available Facebook profile. Perhaps they want lots of presents? Even if you hide the information on a social media site, there has been more than one data leak. (Have you ever had a friend who doesn’t password protect their computer and has had it stolen? The thief of that computer then has your information!)
So, my advice is, put an incorrect birth date on social media sites. Perhaps have it in the same month (so that you don’t get lots of surprise gifts at the wrong time of the year) unless you like having two sets of presents…
But at least you won’t receive the NASTY surprise of having your bank account emptied!

Cloud Genius is proud to be providing the technology behind the Bounce Back team at the Pembrokeshire Jobs Fair (29 October 2014).
Bounce Back are helping recently redundant people back into work. They are doing this through:
- Facilitating access to Government grants
- Helping people look for employment
- Helping people, who want to, change career.
Using Salesforce and tablet computers this information is being collected straight into the database. There it will be processed efficiently, using the new Process Builder that is part of the Winter ’15 edition of Salesforce (yes, that is this year’s version). This will enable Bounce Back to work efficiently with various government agencies.
Go team Bounce Back!

Here at Cloud Genius we are always trying to make things easier for our customers, clients, friends, selves to buy domain names.
A number of our folk were having difficulty remembering where to buy domain names (and other web stuff) at the best price, so we have purchased a new domain to make things easier.
Old location: webhost.cloud-genius.com
New location: cloudgenius.domains
It’s easier, shorter and there is only one dot.
Tell us what you think? Better? No change? Worse? or constructive comments. We want to know 🙂
Forgot to say, we have now changed the default currency to pounds sterling (GBP). You may have to change the currency (top right) one last time. You should also be billed in GBP now, too.

Most computer users know that updates are important. Security updates make sure that you are safe on the web.
They tend not to think about their websites. Their websites are run by software, just like their computers. Security flaws are found in that software, just like on their computers.
Here is the big difference:
A website is connected to the internet 24×7.
To save you time and effort, Cloud Genius can update all the software on your WordPress site AND back it up daily.
Contact us at info@cloud-genius.com and one of our friendly engineers will make sure that your website is Safe and Secure. (The unfriendly ones are all on holiday.)
… or you could do it yourself!
