🚨 Confession time… 🚨

It’s been a long time since we last posted on here and yes that’s bad on our part 😅

The reason is simple. We’ve been flat out busy building websites for clients which ironically leaves very little time to work on our own stuff.

So it’s time to change that.

💻 From now on we’ll be sharing a new website every few days….that we’ve recently completed or manage. We’ll also be posting some helpful cyber security content as a lot of people have been hacked lately and it’s something everyone should be aware of.

We’ll be kicking things off with the Hoxne Pavilion & Playing Field website. All branding and the website were created by us, including custom APIs and a bespoke app built specifically for the project.

Check it out at: https://www.hoxnepavilion.co.uk

And finally some exciting news… our brand new Pixel Sense website launches next week 🎉

If you’re into clean design, fast websites, or keeping your business safer online stick around 👀

Let’s do this.

🔒 Secure Your Public Wi-Fi with a Locked-Down Guest Network 🔒

As a provider of public Wi-Fi, offering a guest network that’s properly locked down is one of the best ways to ensure your customers and visitors stay safe online. Public Wi-Fi is easy to hack, with risks like man-in-the-middle attacks, where hackers intercept communications, and rogue hotspots, where attackers set up fake networks to trick users into connecting. Without proper security, your guests could be exposed to these threats—and you might be completely clueless about what's happening in the background.

In our home lab environment, simulating these attacks with real life variables shows just how vulnerable unsecured networks can be. We’ll be posting a video soon to demonstrate one of these simulated attacks in action, so you can see first-hand how easily threats can compromise a public Wi-Fi network.

Here’s why it’s important:

✔️ Isolation for Safety: A locked-down guest network keeps users' personal devices separate, reducing the risk of hackers gaining access.
✔️ Enhanced Security: By securing your network, you can protect guests from common cyber threats, including man-in-the-middle attacks, rogue hotspots, and data theft.
✔️ Seamless User Experience: A secure network builds trust with your customers, ensuring they feel safe when they connect.

By offering a secure, locked-down guest network, you can help protect both your visitors and your business from potential cyber threats, keeping everyone safe without you even realising how many dangers lurk out there.

🎄 Beware of Phone Phishing Scams this Christmas! 🎄

The holiday season brings joy, but it also brings an increase in phone phishing scams. Scammers take advantage of people’s busyness, pretending to be companies or even loved ones, hoping to steal personal information. The especially will take advantage of vulnerable people. such as the elderly.

Don't fall victim to these tricks!

Here’s how to stay safe:

📞 Be cautious of unsolicited calls, WhatsApp messages, or any message from unknown numbers, especially those asking for personal information or payment details.

🎁 Check the details: Scammers often claim to be offering Christmas gifts, discounts, or urgent help—don’t take the bait! For example, winter fuel payments....

🔒 Hang up and call back: If you're unsure about a call, hang up and contact the company or person directly using a verified number. If you receive a message via SMS, WhatsApp, or any other platform, do not reply. Instead, contact the company directly using a verified number or official contact details.

⚠️ Never share sensitive information over the phone, especially if you weren’t expecting the call.

This holiday season, take extra care to protect your personal information from fraudsters. Stay alert and don’t let scammers ruin your Christmas cheer!

📶 Cybersecurity Tip: Avoid Using Public Wi-Fi for Sensitive Transactions!

Public Wi-Fi networks, like those in cafés, airports, or hotels, may be convenient, but they pose significant risks to your personal data. Cybercriminals can easily intercept information shared over these unsecured networks, exposing you to threats like data theft or malware.

Here’s how to protect yourself:

🔒 Use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to encrypt your connection and keep your data secure.
🛑 Avoid accessing sensitive accounts like online banking, shopping, or email on public Wi-Fi.
📱 Disable automatic connections to public networks to prevent accidental exposure.
⚠️ Be cautious of fake Wi-Fi hotspots—cybercriminals often set up malicious networks to steal your data.

Stay safe by using trusted, secure connections whenever handling sensitive information!

🚨🛡️ Phishing Awareness Tip: Stay Safe from Scammers 🕵️‍♀️❗

You may have seen a recent phishing attempt regarding parking charges, which serves as a reminder of how these scams can look legitimate but are designed to steal your information.

ℹ️ What is Phishing?

Phishing is a type of cyber attack where scammers pretend to be legitimate entities - like banks, companies, or even colleagues - to trick you into revealing sensitive information. These attacks often come through emails, texts, or messages that look real but contain malicious links or attachments. The goal is usually to steal personal data like passwords, credit card details, or even install malware on your device.

Phishing attempts usually have signs like:

❗️Urgent requests (e.g., "Your account will be locked unless you act!")
❗️ Slightly altered email addresses
❗️Suspicious links or attachments asking for your details

How to Protect Yourself:

❌ Avoid clicking on suspicious links or attachments in emails, texts, or messages from unknown or untrusted sources.
🕵️‍♂️ Verify the sender before interacting—if something feels off, it probably is.
🚩 Look out for red flags, such as poor spelling, urgent requests, or unfamiliar email addresses.
🔒 Don’t share personal or sensitive information unless you’re sure the request is legitimate.
🛡️ Use multi-factor authentication to add an extra layer of protection for your accounts.
📢 Report phishing attempts to your email provider or relevant authorities.

Always think before you click and stay one step ahead of cyber criminals!

🔐 Cyber Security Tip: Use Strong, Unique Passwords!

You’d be surprised how many people still don’t know or follow this tip! Your dogs name or favourite flavour of ice cream is not secure enough!

Weak passwords can be cracked in just seconds, so the longer and more complex your password is, the harder it is for hackers to break in. Avoid using easy-to-guess info like your pet’s name, favourite song, or anything publicly identifiable. And remember—never write down your password or share it with anyone you don’t know or trust. If remembering long passwords feels impossible, use a password manager like Proton Pass to keep them safe and organised.

🔒 Use long, complex passwords with a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters.
🚫 Avoid using easily guessed information like your pet’s name, favourite song, or birthdate.
🔑 Create unique passwords for each account—don’t reuse the same one across multiple sites.
📝 Never write down your password or share it with someone you don’t know or trust.
🔄 Update your passwords regularly to stay ahead of potential threats.
🛡️ Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for an extra layer of security.
🗂️ Use a password manager like Proton Pass to store and manage your passwords safely.
🌐 Don’t use public Wi-Fi to log in to sensitive accounts without a secure connection or VPN.

Stay protected and keep hackers out! 💪
