Why Working From Home Is Dangerous?

COVID for computers, it’s coming. It’s triple C. COVID for computers is coming, think about that. Where do our electronics come from? This is going to be a bit of a speculative episode more than anything else, but most of our electronics are made in China. We’ve already seen cases where there have been back doors and hack abilities where people are using automated doorbells, where you click on it and they can see your face. Hackers have been able to go in and spy on these children and the parents weren’t even aware there was some weirdo looking at them. Multiple devices that people take for granted on their home networks such as their smart TVs, smart fridges, smart door locks, smart anything on your network, even your smartphone is a way for you to get broken into.

Don’t Work From Home Without These Tips

I’m being serious, now, guys. I don’t normally have this tone when I’m doing a podcast, but we’re seeing so many IT companies that are just doing a poor job at setting up their remote workforces. There’s been a 41.5% increase in the amount of businesses that are now open to threats. That’s because they’ve been intentionally opened. Your business is like a box. If you have no light going into that box, nothing inside the box can spoil potentially. As soon as light starts going in, though, you can have bacteria and all sorts of things happen, and your business is exactly the same. Your business as a box, when you open up a door, you’re going to let all sorts of nasties come in. I’ll put a link in the description so you can see how much more, what they call RDP traffic, is out and around on the internet, which is a protocol that can be broken into.

Finance Alternatives With Paul Boyd-Skinner

Our special guest in this episode is Paul from No BNK, a non-bank business and commercial finance solutionist. Paul is a wizard when it comes to looking at a different way that you can do finance, which is especially critical in today’s financial climate. He has been involved in nonbank lending for around about 16 years but he has never ever put anybody in a loan with the bank. He explained, ‘If I want to borrow money from you, why do I have to go to a bank to do that? You put your money in the bank and then I go and borrow the money from the bank. That’s your money that’s in the bank. That’s not theirs. So why not just borrow directly from you? No BNK is set up where we facilitate accurate information between somebody who wants to borrow money and someone who wants to lend it.’ Listen to the podcast or read on to learn more about No BNK.
