Tech News You Can Use – Feb 2017

Technology is constantly changing and it is hard to keep up with everything.  When I find out about updates or interesting information I think would be helpful fo you, I always try to share.

Tidbits of Information

A few tidbits of information I found that I think will be of interest:

1. WordPress Issues

In the last two weeks, over 50,000 WordPress websites have been hacked due to a major security vulnerability that was discovered in the WordPress REST API.

They silently fixed the issue and pushed out WordPress 4.7.2 update.

If you haven’t updated your WordPress site, now is the time to do so.

With this vulnerability, anyone on the internet can deface your website without having the login access. So it is serious!

Go ahead and update your sites to WordPress 4.7.2 now.

2. Copyright Dates

If you haven’t changed the copyright dates on your website and email footers from 2016 to 2017 now is the time to do it.  Those changes do not happen automatically.

3.  YouTube

Are you using YouTube to promote your business?  You can learn more in my series of posts,  Youtube Series.   In this series I give you the details of why you need to use YouTube for business and how to do it, step by step.   Take a look, I’m sure you will find it helpful.
