Pomodorino Project

In Latin, univerbation of pomo (“apple”) + d’ (“of”) + oro (“gold”), literally “golden apple”. Perhaps because the first tomato cultivars to reach Europe and spread from Spain to Italy and North Africa were yellow. Pomodorino, which translates as ‘cherry tomoto’ in Italian, is the name chosen for the pizza restaurant in Greece.

Visme Presentation

I completed a course in creating presentations, documents, data visualizations, videos and other branded contents using Visme. Visme is a powerful online tool that allows users to create, edit, share, and store visual content. It may be uses as a presentation programme to create slide decks, but you can also design templates for visuals for letterheads, infographics, charts, logos, and storyboards.

How secure is your contactless bank card?

How secure is your contactless bank card?
 
Have you ever wondered that if someone could get close enough to you and your contactless bank cards, they could somehow capture the data and use it in fraud? Well, the simple answer is they can’t. (According to global business Thales Group)
 
The link below, details some myths and facts that will explain why your contactless card/s are safe from being skimmed, whether they are in some form of protective wallet or not.

Amazon UK to stop accepting Visa credit cards

For those of you that use Amazon.co.uk you may already have been informed that as of January 19th 2022, Amazon will not accept Visa credit cards for payment.

I note with interest, that they advise you to replace the card with either a Debit Card or another credit card issuer.

Please remember, that using a credit card to online shop provides you with more consumer protection than using your debit card.

Using a credit card, you are spending someone else’s money until you pay it back.

Using a debit card, you are spending your own money.

I like to try and predict how the criminals will react to the Amazon announcement, so I would not be surprised and I urge you to be alert to the fact, that criminals will exploit this situation to send phishing communications that appear to come from Amazon, inviting you to click on a link so you can change the card details on your account.

May I suggest, that you access your Amazon account (or any online account) via the genuine website or genuine app, not via a link in a text, email or social media message.

Windows 10 OS update

On the 13th October 2020, Microsoft released a significant update to all users of Windows 10 OS. (CVE-2020-1047) (If you use Windows OS on a work computer, then updates may be managed by your ICT)

The update fixes 87 vulnerabilities with one having a Microsoft severity score of 9.8 out of 10 and has been described as dangerous. This bug can allow a criminal to take over any Windows operating system that has not been patched.

The second issue of note relates to Outlook in which the bug can be exploited by tricking the user into opening a specially crafted file with an affected version of the Microsoft Outlook software.

You may already have updates set to Automatic, but please check just in case the updates have not been applied.

To do this, click on the magnifying glass on the taskbar bottom left of your screen, then in the search bar start typing ‘windows update’, and you will then see Windows Update Settings appear, click on this and follow the instructions.

I collected information on this subject from reliable sources like the police online scurity team and the Neighbourhood watch team. Sometimes we can be overhelmed with so many messages bombarded at us from so many sources that we missed out the important ones. The idea of having it in one place is to give you the freedom to browse through your own time and space.
