North Platte Cyberattack Shuts Down City Phones | Compute This

So last week on the program, if you missed the show, uh, you can check that out over at shrockinnovations.com.

Uh, we talked about, um, how you can get tricked by a real ChatGPT page.

It's called a custom GPT, um, and it was tricking people into installing viruses on their computer.

So we, uh, we had to watch out for that because it...

You, you went to the ChatGPT page, and you were logged into your account.

Everything looked legit because it was legit.

Then it tricked you into doing something that was kind of not legit.

This is something, this is a recurring theme, guys.

We've seen this a lot, um, this week, uh, both in Shrock business and in the service centers, a lot of what, what's called social engineering.

I hear this is happening in North Platte too.

A lot of social engineering, getting people to do things and install things on computers that they shouldn't do and install that are leading to massive infections and cyber incidents and things like that.

So there's, there's just something to be careful about there.

You know, don't install Google Drive.

That's not a thing.

You don't install Google Drive.

If you get an email saying you gotta install your G Drive, don't do it.

It's a virus every time, and we had two customers try to do it this week.

Um, so it's definitely going around right now.

That's why I'm bringing that one up specifically.

Uh, we also walked you through all the good changes coming from Windows 1126H2.

If you missed the memo on this one, the great big Windows update, you know the one that doesn't sometimes drop until around October 30th, somewhere at the end of the month? Um, it dropped, like, you know, two weeks ago.

So if you haven't installed it yet, you should probably get on that before it auto-installs on you.

Um, the, in our testing, in the labs, you know, when we were building Safe Upgrade, um, we had a 25% failure rate on standard computers and a 33% failure rate on Snapdragon computers, uh, including rollback failures and all kinds of, all kinds of things.

You name it.

It was a classic to, you know, Windows feature upgrade, where 80% of the time it works like a charm, and 20% of the time you really rue the day that you got that free update from Microsoft.
