 Crack it out. All right Welcome to another Thursday vlog log Thursday thing vlog vlog Thursday thing. Yeah, there's anything that we don't do scripted at all There is too much crap on the other bench So we're up here because we're lazy and we don't want to move all the stuff off because there's just that much stuff Yeah, business has been really really good. It has so good that we're not gonna do the vlogs here anymore No, not at all. We're doing it here right here or Maybe here maybe here could be here But definitely not in here And in case you don't know what all this is about. Yes, we got a new building. We sure did Finally So yeah, that's our big announcement. That's what we're talking about is the project Jefferson thing is because I'm moving on To the east side Going yeah, okay. Yeah southeast of here. Yeah, yes, we got a new building To accommodate the fact that we're always busy and we needed more space so we doubled the amount of space Lots of space and which is great lots and lots of also a Dedicated we're dedicated to the area. So all the stuff that is back here that is all set up That we'll take a picture of it in certain here. Yeah Yeah Anyways, so it doesn't have to be broke down each time. That's just pretty exciting Yeah, so that's a that's our little bit of excitement that we're gonna start it off with and now we're going to our usual rambling of other things We are going to post another video we're gonna do I'm gonna show you how this tube represents and how these pens relate to it Yeah, this is a VPN tunnel. We know the internet's full of tunnels and VPNs and ISP stuff are really concerning to people So I've been doing some more videos on them. We're going to do another video Show you how this represents a tunnel and Marvin represents a VPN and all these things and represent your browsing history The variety of sites you go to Marvin's excited about that one. Hmm shame on you. Yeah We were gonna use a smaller tube, but it wouldn't know where so this is. Yeah So there's that other projects and fun things that we're working on here Besides the building which has been a lot of fun projects because I love dealing with the city Yes, thanks government, but that's uh, they're simply trying to keep us safe Tom Yes, in case the case governments watching this may understand. Thank you for keeping me. No your purpose. Yes And it's not just an aggravated business owners and take a long time to get buildings and that is a feature not a bug Tom Something I didn't tell Marvin but Steve told me about it first and I learned about it yesterday Which is we have a client and uh, this is the thing he does which is wonderful And it makes me laugh. He makes velociraptor noises when he learns someone new has come into his building. And so we're Have to record this. I mean the guy is legit off the wall and I love it It's just he he just starts screaming in the other room and he it's the most absurd thing so It's great. All right, so we're out there a fix it I had they messed up a printer so I go by stop by fix a printer and Steve told me he goes Have you met the owner? I said oddly no I see you she talked to the office manager and he seems like a funny guy He's pretty humorous and stuff and so the most he worked there's a fun place for trekking company They really keep it fun and but it turns out the owner He makes noises from his office and he does that when he learns someone has new has come into the building Because they don't have like the general public coming through that much and The guy is not just some you think of some trucking company No, like they're a bigger truck company like they own other businesses, too They own all these different companies in both Canada and the US and I'm like the guy does quite well You've seen their trucks on the road bottom line. Yeah, but he's out there. We're going Steve told me about this he's like if you're about the owner and like no he goes He makes noises when new people come in. Well, he's making the noises and I said, what's that? They go someone new in the office. He does that and they're trying they're they find it humorous there But they don't find his humorous as I do because apparently this is a common occurrence. So it's less funny to them We have to come up with a noise to make when people come in now Yeah, I was like that's that's so funny because it's it's makes him very memorable for sure Yeah, that's right. I haven't met this guy and I'm gonna remember him then he does come out of his office He goes, hey, you're not that guy You're the other guy because he met Steve last time he goes you look like him though You look a hacker or something. I'm like, I guess I'm like a loss of raptor. Yeah, I'm like you lost raptor. So yeah, there's some story to how he came out I don't remember Steve remembers and what he's not here to tell us right now But we will be able to include that story somewhere in description of Steve updates it Yeah, that's why the guy is there's got to be a reason I just laughing and wanted to get printers fixed They had a new job. So I went and knocked out all the printers got them all set up for him Yeah, so there's that Anyone who follows me on Facebook. I posted a crazy picture to me. It's crazy Just the amount of storage servers needed to move steel. It was this. Yeah, that was amazing Yeah, so new another company where we got a project since proposals with it's It's interesting just all the the systems that require you think about it And I was like ooh sunrise and steel and everything it's just in the servers and that was kind of cool I haven't seen these before not in this manner, but it sometimes it's a low-tech. They think if there's a hi-tech problem It turns out that a plug was unplugged and something overheated So some of the stuff was actually pretty easy to sort out They didn't change a filter and things overheated and shut off. So they're like heaps. Oh, yeah So as an industrial environment, it's got heaters on the server. I'm sorry It cleaners on the server cage and it did that. So I thought that was kind of novel How often should one change a server and when you're cleaner filter Yeah, who in this industrial if you have an industrial environment like that you should just do it all the time. So Yes Monster something I guess another interesting thing I had read and you can find this I think it was under the sysadmin subreddit But it was a breakdown of a company that got hacked and I thought it was seems to be a common theme I was very common theme Yeah, but what's interesting was the hacker that broke in and encrypted things They I think he charged from $15,000 to unencrypted so he just ran somewhere they got in and they locked him out But the hacker being very responsive Also offered to assist after her being paid and decrypting everything and as a bonus if you paid him This was they had dialogue with the guy He offered to tell him how he got in I Thought yeah, yeah Hey, so they they went ahead and paid to kind of this word. It's a learning lesson in many many ways now Well, how much would it cost to hire a consultant to come in and tell you how or your vulnerabilities are well And here's the other side of that once the hackers in the system They are good at wiping the logs to determine how they got there. So that's part of the problem the Frenzically figuring out where a hacker once he's been in your systems and taking them over is extremely difficult because if he had access to Critical infrastructure systems those are the system are supposed to monitor what they were doing and they to remove all the logs Or they create custom log programs like the guys at Yahoo that broke in did that eliminated any of their logs But kept normal logs because removing the logs is a tell-tale sign something happened But it's also a lack of evidence It's kind of like what we know something happened because someone cleared all the logs But when the case of like Yahoo when they got hacked they created a logging program that just didn't log with the hackers did But left all the other logs intact. So no one knew there was anything in there That's how that was some of the breakdown of how Yahoo lost all their stuff Yeah, it's crazy. I missed the golden opportunity of the upsell them. It should have been 15 to unlock them 20 To show you the logs 30 to show you how I did it. Yeah, that's the golden opportunity. Yeah, but it turned out They had a proprietary And I didn't see the brand of these the proprietary firewalls Someone had a misconfigured rule in it and that's one of the problems I have with a lot of firewalls that are Complicated on or I should say unduly complicated Is if you have something strange it's really hard to read the rules and you may accidentally or inadvertently open up your firewall to the outside world And that's you know kind of scary I've also been wanting to do more talks about how people get hacked See we see it all the time you don't see it in the news You see the news when Yahoo gets hacked when Target gets hacked or I posted about Hardy's getting hacked You see national change this company's not in news The only reason I know about it is because the guy who's assisted men working inside the company That had to pay their ransom and everything they are posting it in a forum as a discussion piece So it's not anything news that good. No CNN is not covering and other those places are so lost one businesses Just don't realize the risk they're under but in Big picture there's a lot of problems being attacked because they're using some really outdated You know we have proposals right now We got a client using an 11-year-old system with security holes in it They don't want to upgrade because it works and I'm like yeah There's here's a list of vulnerabilities because the device has been installed for 11 years And here's all the problems that has with that known flaws and this is such a big problem because they go but it works I don't want to replace it on a spend of money And then the only companies that we have that really want to spend the money are going What can we do to protect ourselves because we got hacked and lost everything and they encrypted our backups and everything else because one of the side effects is It's not just having the backups if the hacker gets in they wait They wait a long time. They're methodical because they'll encrypt and back back door all the backups that way you can go Why backups don't worry about this I can just restore But if they were in there and encrypted the backups They can just keep doing it again because it's even on the backup So they may put the system in there set a timer to be 60 days out because you have 30 days with the backups now All of your backups that anything you roll back to also has his back door in there his or her back door So this can be an issue It's one of those things you just have to be very hyper vigilant on it make sure you have up-to-date systems It's it's serious hackers are smart. Yeah, they don't just do it They they have a plan and reality is that they get in off of a weak password On a system you left open by accident They're like they have the keys to the kingdom because of a slightly weak Administrator and turned out the username that they had because they disabled the administrator user was I think it was a Backup user they guessed the name and guessed the backup password for the backup user and yeah That was the source which was nice because the assistant main guy because they did pay the hacker and he did cooperate with them They just closed the whole thing of how it happened, which was really good now Speaking of acts mmm last pass talked about them last week talked about on this thing again, but We this is we still love them now Here's in maybe I'll do a video another last past hacked video Which is a follow-up to last has packed video But I reiterate in there the reason I like last pass the reason I'm still using last pass is it's still a good solution people like Oh, I use this XYZ password company because they've never been hacked. They've never had a security reach Tavis Ormandy is a genius is he looking at that company? There was a company a lot of people jumped on that thought was really secure as soon as it got popular a security researcher Took a look at it and go this is horrible code. This actually has a complete exploit right here here It takes the time of a security expert to go through it to Figure these things out the fact that last pass has the largest user base of password managers is why people like Tavis and other Security researchers are absolutely hammering on it And I would rather use a well vetted product that a security researcher It's just beaten away at every day going. Hey, I think I can do this or hey I think I can do that in solving it now You remember these hacks and last pass were never found in the wild. They were never found to be actively Exploited they were the thoughts of a security researcher putting a lot of time and energy and trying crazy things on these single products And putting a lot of focus on it to find a flaw in a system As opposed to the other ones that no one's looking at going. Yeah, there's no user base So you got a number of security researchers. They want their name and likes they want that you want to There's a there's an incentive for that, you know, it's kind of the street cred you got I cracked the big giant company if I cracked some ABC company that some kid wrote and just posted it and he'll go Yeah, so some kid wrote it what we're not impressed So before you trust just any company for the password management one last passes response has been absolutely amazing. They fixed it He pointed out in this last hack what they called a fundamental problem And I may go into it because it's really fascinating to me Maybe not to you of exactly what they did with Java variables to make this happen But it was yeah, it's really variable job of variables. Yes undeclared Java variables and using declared undeclared dom space We have to do something about these undeclared Java variables and then good news is last pass did something about the undeclared Java variables That's what they had to do to fix it So VPNs and that what else we got going on Marvin. We got a lot still got a lot of web stuff going on We got more a couple more web clients that we're gonna be doing It's an important thing a lot of people don't realize that like I think we've said this before but your website is your It's your online home. It's your online presence. That's what you want everybody directed to we talk about social media and stuff a lot But you still need to direct people back to your website. So if you have an old boring 90s looking website people are gonna buy buy pass it right away Yes, something responsive and people are looking on phones and tablets and things now So, you know take a look at your website and maybe you need some updating have us take a look at your website And we'll give you an idea of what can be updated on it. Yeah, we can you know kind of work with you on that I got designers and Marvin and we can all talk about what can go on there Another side note to that is related. So I've been doing websites for years and so years ago Joomla was a popular platform to do websites on so we did them on Joomla The problem is the old versions of Joomla don't have easy migration to the new version of Joomla Because they kind of had to abandon ship because they found major security holes in the platform So they rewrote the platform good for them bad for people who were built with Joomla We had no way of knowing when we built the website So it creates kind of an awkward problem for me and actually a lot of people So I had someone else with a hacked website and one I hosted Another one that we didn't host and they want me to secure their website But they don't want to redo it and I'm like we are more than happy to redo it Wordpress is the platform we're using now Wordpress Understands migration pass and understands that there's security updates to it And you shouldn't just have to redo your website every time there's a security change to the platform So we have websites we have to redo that we did like five and six years ago when we did them with Joomla So unfortunately, I just had someone say but I don't have money to redo my website I'm like, I'm sorry. I can't stop it like but it keeps getting hacked I'm like, yeah, you can keep hacking it They can keep restoring it securing really old five and six-year-old versions of Joomla is super hard And not really worth it. Just it's one of those as an expense. It sucks Spend the money get the new website get it in Wordpress life. His life is better. Mm-hmm Absolutely. Yeah, he's he's actually right You kind of have to rethink the way you get your message out to people people It used to be that you push you've just pushed your message out and then people took it in and you hope that They responded to it That's not how it works anymore people are actively out searching for their own solution their own answer So when you need them to find your website and convince them there that they that you are the one for them Yep, if you want to understand some of this I have an entire another video You can find on my channel. This is a turning clicks in the clients for 2017 I go and ramble on for an hour all the details of social media website marketing And how SEO and everything works. It is based on knowledge directly from how Google actually works Not one of those crappy will get you to the top of the page type things. That is not how that works I give much more detail of actually how you get to the top of the page and it's in my Turning clicks in the clients video. It's free. I don't ask you to sign up or subscribe It's just kind of a breakdown of what we do and how some of the other companies are doing SEO SEM and social media marketing and how it relates back to websites That was a great thing. It's it's it's a free ad on Google essentially. Yeah, you do it correctly You get to the top you get to the top. Yeah, it takes some time That's another thing for people to understand it can take six months six months to a year To really do it. Well. Yes, so it's not anything where you're gonna do it and then next week You're at the top of Google. You have to understand that. Yep So it takes time takes work. What else we got? So we're running about the long time mark here. What else we have? Well, let's see. We went through the move. We talked about pens. We talked about websites. We talked about So which website does this pen represent? All right Yeah, we'll see we'll end it here because we're rambling now It's what we do so we'll do one we'll do one more from here one Yeah, probably one more vlog here because our planned a couple weeks is our move date We'll put the date below we're still working on a couple details Because we got to have a couple things delivered, but it's gonna be probably third week of April I think that what did doesn't fall on 20 seconds. I think our move date 21st or 20 seconds our move date So we'll be opening that Monday. That's a Friday or a Saturday That's our final move when we should have everything switched and then we'll move into our new building So we're really excited about that We're banding the old building. Well, it's been good. We've been at this location for over 10 years So I know a lot of stuff to pack up and go the other way Thanks again for watching if you like the content here like and subscribe And if you want me to do more videos talking about VPNs what we're gonna do one more video about Marvin that was gonna come after this video can't wait can't wait. Yeah, he's not even sure what it's gonna be But it's like the stage when I get no idea what's gonna happen if you made it this far. Thank you again Oh, also, thank you very much for 4,000 of you now our subscribe to yeah 4,000 I think so Okay, awesome. Thanks again. All right. See you next week
