You should always use strong passwords for each and every account. Cybercriminals don’t need to put much effort into cracking a password these days—it only takes a little software and standard computer hardware to crack millions of passwords in just a second or two.

The more complex and random a password is, the more secure it is.

But coming up with (and memorizing) complex passwords is really difficult. This trick should make it a whole lot easier.

Your computer has a brain, of sorts, in its CPU… a tiny square that literally enables everything the device does, as it processes billions of instructions at a time. Of course, to support this on such a relatively tiny piece of hardware, most CPUs are packed with microscopic transistors—these transistors being small enough to fit hundreds on a single blood cell.

As you might imagine, this means things can go wrong pretty easily… and gone wrong, things have. Many newer computers are suffering from a bug that could cause permanent damage to the CPU… and if you don’t take steps fast, it could be too late.

In the heart of New England, businesses are thriving.

From Boston's bustling tech scene to the diverse industries across Massachusetts, there's a common thread. That thread is the reliance on technology to drive growth and innovation.

But with this reliance comes challenges. Cybersecurity threats, data privacy concerns, and the need for constant tech support are just a few.

That's where managed IT services come in, and when New England businesses need an IT provider they can trust, they call Datalyst.
