Webmail Login Change:
by Tech Aaron, Internet Specialist
Red Shift has completed security upgrades to the Webmail server. You now have to use your
email address to login instead of just your user name. We were forced to make this change due to security concerns. The hardware
has also been upgraded to twice the memory and twice the speed of the previous system.
Network Upgrades:
by Karl Van Lear, Chief Executive Officer
In the past three months Red Shift has added additional bandwidth in our operations
centers. Red Shift now has three separate fiber connections to the
Internet. We have also increased the number of servers handling
Email. We have added six new powerful CPUs to handle the virus
scanning of the millions of messages processed by our Email systems.
We are not stopping there, further upgrades are planned for our
networks and will be announced in future newsletter.
Internet
Browser Security Tip:
by
Tech Aaron, Internet Specialist
Make sure to always check
for the latest Internet browser updates. Many spyware and virus
programs enter your computer through your Internet browser. An
attacker could exploit vulnerabilities by convincing a user to view
or accept a specially crafted HTML document, such as a web page or
an HTML email message. If you use the Microsoft version, Internet
Explorer, your automatic software updates should address those
vulnerabilities. If you use a third party browser like Opera,
Safari, Firefox, etc, you have to be more vigilant in upgrading your
browser because it is not always automatic. |
