Happy Fun Fact Friday everyone!

As rebrand approaches (only 6 more sleeps) we will be posting our new links for our social media platforms and website Wednesday!

Did you know Google’s first ever Tweet on Twitter was in February 2009, and reads “I’m 01100110 01100101 01100101 01101100 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01101100 01110101 01100011 01101011 01111001 00001010.” Translating from binary into English, this tweet says “I’m feeling lucky.”

We're hope you're feeling lucky this weekend to!

We hope everyone had a great weekend! As promised this week we are introducing Michael Counsell our Director of Technology.

As a director of technology Michael oversees all technical aspects of amisIT for the purpose of organisational growth. Michael establishes a technological vision for amisIT and leads the company's development and education towards this vision.

Michael has many over 2 decades of experience in IT, working and learning from the ground up. Not only with practical software, but hardware experience with his background in Electrical Engineering. Michael enjoys keeping up to date with the latest tech and security. He believes that good IT support is how well you connect with the heart-beating people you’re trying to help and communicate your understanding back to them, as he knows how quickly the tech world evolves, that it can be quite intimidating.

In his spare time he enjoys podcasts, gaming, building and spending time with his daughter (you should see the cubby house they made!).

Happy Fun Fact Friday!

Did you know that you can still visit the very first web page ever made?

Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist, working at CERN, invented the World Wide Web in 1989. It took another two years for the world’s first website to make its appearance. The first webpage went live in 1991 and was hosted on a NeXT system at CERN.
The amazing fact is that the first web site is still available for you to visit. It serves as a historical archive for everything available online about the World Wide Web.

Why not check it out yourself and click the link.

We hope everyone had a great long weekend, and good news that restrictions are easing!

Keeping up to date with security is something we, at amisIT, take very seriously. Every now and then we hear a rumour / story or report how new tech has been hacked or used for malicious and potentially dangerous reasons that can lead people getting hurt or worse.

We heard that people are using tracking devices to stalk people – as we all have seen some type of spy/action film/s and know that the technology is out there. So what’s changed?

Usually commercially available tracking devices work on range / distance, the cost to get good tracking gear is not cheap or as easily accessible.

However, in this day and age you can pick up things like MyTag which has a 60km radius, is the size of a credit card and approx. $250 aud, or cheaper still you can buy an AirTag from apple for approx. $30 aud.

We did some research and found a couple of interesting articles who break down the security of the AirTag and how easily it has been hacked.

https://9to5mac.com/2021/05/06/airtag-stalking/

Our take on this? If you’re out, check your person, pockets and bags to make sure nothing has been placed on or with you you. If you do find a device please go straight to the police. Its always better to be safe than sorry.

Keep your eyes peeled, next week we introduce our Director of Technology - Michael Counsell and the rest of the team.

A new report today says that AirTag stalking is "frighteningly easy" thanks to a number of weaknesses in Apple's privacy protections ...

Happy Friday, we hope that you have had a great week and that you haven’t been to affected by the hectic weather. We thought we’d end on a Fun Fact which also emphasises why change is so important!

The first ever apple logo isn’t what you think -

Originally, it featured Sir Isaac Newton sitting beneath a tree, with an apple about to fall on his head.

It was designed back in 1976 and featured a phrase around the border that read “Newton…A mind forever voyaging through strange seas of thought…alone”.

Check it out for yourself below and we hope you have safe and relaxing weekend.
