banks rants – 10 Year Challenge Debate
Posted by Erin K. Banks in banks rants, security on January 23, 2019
We started off 2019 with a social media challenge called the #10YearChallenge. It really isn’t a challenge but an opportunity for people to feel better about themselves, to demonstrate climate change, or to create some great memes. After this “challenge” started there was some debating over how the “challenge” images were being used. Now I […]

Posted by Erin K. Banks in banks rants, security on January 10, 2019
We all have our personal resolutions each year. Whether it be about mental health, physical health, financials, time, all of it is to make us better citizens of the earth and our lives. We usually have these goals because we want to take back control of our own life and hoping, that as a result, […]

Posted by Erin K. Banks in banks rants, passwords, rants, security on August 20, 2018
This blog post is going to be real simple… real simple. I have ONE rule for this blog post… do NOT send a plain text password in an email. You can send a hint to a password or a third party tool to access the password but do not send a CLEAR password. If you […]
banks rants – amazon echo… this IS a privacy issue
Posted by Erin K. Banks in Artificial Intelligence, banks rants, data analytics, policies, security on June 4, 2018
Yeah… technology is listening in on our conversations and sending it to people on our contacts lists and no one seems to care. Yup. Amazon Echo is going just that and people seem to be ignoring it or simply forgetting it because for some reason, they trust these large organizations?? I hope that is not […]
banks rants – GDPR and phishing attacks
Posted by Erin K. Banks in security on May 25, 2018
It is May 25, 2018 and it is officially GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) day because it is officially in effect. The fines are HUGE and that is the point… to truly hit the big businesses where it matters most… their wallets. It effects all EU (European Union) countries only but it impacts United States […]
banks rants – never forget it is YOUR data
Posted by Erin K. Banks in banks rants, data analytics, policies, security on April 2, 2018
Recently there has been a lot of drama about Facebook and Cambridge Analytica and what they did or did not do with our Facebook data but in my mind, I want to ask everyone… what were you thinking they were doing with all your data? What did you think would happen when you gave an […]
Every Business Needs to Prioritize Security
Posted by Erin K. Banks in cloud security, security on March 25, 2018
I recently got the opportunity to talk with BetaKit regarding small businesses and security. I am happy with the points we were able to make about the two topics but it is important to note, everyone constantly needs to be asking about the security of their data, the security of their premises, the security of […]
banks rants – two factor authentication
Posted by Erin K. Banks in banks rants, passwords, security on March 12, 2018
I feel like a week does not go by without a family member asking for IT help. There isn’t anything wrong with that, I love the fact that I can help out others. I also appreciate the fact that I understand technology and I love to share what I know. One of the biggest issues […]
banks rants – Facebook cloned accounts
Posted by Erin K. Banks in banks rants, policies, security on February 20, 2018
I have to admit, I was not familiar with Facebook cloned accounts until last week when at least one of my friends ran into this issue. Even though USA Today wrote a report on it last year (2017), it was not something that popped into my mind… for a couple of reasons. I don’t accept […]
banks rants – security (questions)
Posted by Erin K. Banks in banks rants, security on February 5, 2018
It is only appropriate that my next banks rants is focused on security but more specifically the information you share on Facebook. Sure there are other places you may be sharing this information but Facebook seems more prevalent and more importantly, your posts are searchable. The posts/examples I show below are from 2010.
