OUR WEBSITE POLICIES

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a business approach that contributes to sustainable development by delivering economic, social and environmental benefits for all stakeholders. CSR is a concept with many definitions and practices.
CSR aims to ensure that companies conduct their business in a way that is ethical. This means taking account of social, economic and environmental impact and consideration of human rights.

CHARITABLE SUPPORT

HERE at CYBER 123 we work with various charitable organisations to provide computers for disadvantaged children and families. We also provide community support centres IT and Security systems. We also provide support, advice and awareness training for many people.

AWARENESS

By providing awareness training and curriculum support for schools we aim to cut the cyber and physical scams off at the roots making sure that people are not only aware of the types of scams that are currently in practice but also to train people on what to look out for to spot and stop potential new scams and cyber fraud.

PRIVACY POLICY

The Crime and Fraud we help prevent can occur in a cyber form but also written letter, telephone or in person (face to face). When we say “you” or “Member” or “Subscriber” we’re referring to the person or entity that’s registered with us to use the Services. We may combine information about you or your Subscribers with information provided by other Members or third parties to create ”Aggregate Information,” which may include, but isn’t limited to, names, email addresses, demographic information, IP addresses and location.

CHANGES

If there are any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we’ll post them on the Website and send them to the last email address you gave us. Any changes will be effective as of the date we post them on the Website or send the email (whichever date is later). You may object to any changes within 20 days after they’re posted on our Website or delivered to you, in which case none of the proposed changes will be effective with respect to information that we’ve already collected from you, but will apply only to information we collect in the future. We won’t treat information of any open account differently from any other open account. If you object to changes in our Privacy Policy, we’ll have to terminate your account.

ACCESSIBILITY POLICY
We work very hard to make CYBER 123 as accessible as possible straight out of the box. We’ve tried to develop CYBER 123 to be as accessible as possible for each individual user.

 

We are continually seeking out solutions that will bring all areas of the site up to the same level of overall web accessibility. In the meantime should you experience any difficulty in accessing the CYBER 123 website, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

WHAT ARE WE DOING?

To help us make the CYBER 123 website a positive place for everyone, we’ve been using the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and user friendly for everyone.

The guidelines have three levels of accessibility (A, AA and AAA). We’ve chosen Level A as the target for the CYBER 123 website.

HOW ARE WE DOING?

We’re working hard to achieve our goal of Level A accessibility, but we realise there are some areas that still need improving.

Whilst we at CYBER 123 strive to adhere to the accepted guidelines and standards for accessibility and usability, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the website.

Parents can find it difficult to tell the difference between the emotional development of their children or whether something more sinister is taking place.
A lot of the times it is normal for growing children to have mood swings, quiet periods, manic periods and changes of emotional circumstance but sometimes these can also be a sign that they are being bullied or bullying others.

From Xero to Zero

To test and check the security of Xero online accounting software I wanted to see if they were susceptible to MITM attacks. I created a trial account and signed up and logged into Xero using standard 1FA (1 Factor Authentication –ie, password). I installed the Xero APP on my phone and Logged in being able to Skip MFA (Multiple Factor Authentication).

Three Mobile Data Breach

According to news reports some 6 million customer records have been stolen from Three Mobile (one of the UK’s largest mobile network providers).

Data accessed would have included names, phone numbers, addresses and date of births of customers.

Twitter, Spotify, Reddit, PSN and a whole load of other internet services and websites were down or left partially working on Friday.

It looks like Dyn was hit with up to 4 attacks lasting most of Friday.

Obviously spyware is not something that you would like to have on your computer, tablet or mobile phone but should you be worried about spyware? Some of the stories I have heard are just scary!

Unfortunately for them the e-book wasn’t the only thing on the USB sticks and unwitting customers that plugged the USB sticks into a windows devices found themselves infect with a virus.
