We get a bunch of emails. We do. In fact we get a shed load, every engineer, sales, and manage-person. Today we had one marked Domain Expiration SEO. It looked kosher. It smelt like something that you should pay attention to, but thankfully someone stopped and checked. What follows are a few words on what… Keep Reading
Spam gets through. It is a fact of life. We are no exception. If anything we are more of a target than yourselves, as be it Salesmen, Accountants, Network or Systems Engineers – they are likely to have access to some resources that would be both ‘interesting’ and ‘fun’ to your average, and your not-so-average… Keep Reading
