Could This New Website Spell The End For Cowboy Mechanics?

0

It’s happened to most of us: we take our car in for repair, only to be given an eye-watering bill for a list of problems we don’t even understand.

But two men – Bristol-residents Mike Robinson and Jamie Hancock – have had enough. Ripped off once too often by unscrupulous mechanics, the friends are making it their mission to stop it happening to them – or anyone else – again.

The result is YesMechanic – an online service that connects people with honest, trustworthy garages and mobile mechanics across the UK. You simply enter the details of the work you need doing and ask for quotes from a choice of local service providers. You can then compare prices, reviews and location, and book the work in online.

Secure payment is made through the site and the user only pays once the job is completed, with a guarantee on all work.

YesMechanic is free for customers to use and mechanics to sign up to, so creates a win-win situation – service providers are able to find more work and car owners can choose from reliable professionals who are charging fixed rates. The review system works two ways – with both service providers and customers giving feedback.

The aim, as Mike explains, is to provide transparency in a sector that often leaves consumers feeling confused and cheated:

“It’s always seemed to us that car repair is stuck in the dark ages, with people forced to take pot luck with garages,” he says. “Some are great and honest, but others take customers for a ride. With YesMechanic you just say what you need, then get full and accurate quotes from as many providers as you want. We vet the qualifications of all potential service providers to weed out any cowboys, and – thanks to the strong and loyal group of mechanics we work with – you’re guaranteed a great price.”

And YesMechanic has another string to its bow – a free online reminder service for road tax, MOT and car insurance. You just enter your email address and car registration, then get a timely reminder when renewals are due.

This too, came about from Mike and Jamie’s own experiences:

“I once had my van clamped because I forgot about road tax, and Jamie’s had similar problems, which made us think there must be plenty of people in the same boat. A quick check revealed around 400,000 people are fined each year for missing tax, insurance and MOT renewal dates. So, setting up an online reminder service is a way of helping people avoid fines – and worse – simply because they forget.”

To register and get started with YesMechanic – either as a car owner or service provider – just visit www.yesmechanic.com/uk and follow the simple instructions.

0

Sydney, March 20, 2020: You cannot expect to live a healthy life without having a clean and neat living place and you cannot expect your workers to perform better when the setting is just not perfect. The big city pollution and the fast lifestyle with erratic habits make your environment quite dirty and you need to keep things neat and clean.

Now, cleaning should not be about dusting, mopping, and washing, in fact, it is a completely technical matter for that matter. We spoke to Mr. Meticulous Cleaning Sydney, a cleaning company that offers a complete cleaning solution.

We tried to find out how things work and how they are catering to the mass that is highly quality conscious. Here is a brief account of the conversation that we had with the operation manager that can just give you insight into the whole business of the cleaning service.

The needs are just dynamic and diversified:

People who have kids have different cleaning needs because they might need something unexpected coming out of the drainage system such as shampoo sachets. The offices can certainly have different kinds of cleaning needs depending upon the nature of business and operation.

Commercial complexes and industry floors witness different kinds of hazards that can be highly lethal and that also demand certain kinds of cleaning services. You cannot rule out carpet cleaning and deep cleaning too.

In a nutshell, the cleaning needs are dynamics and we thrive to meet the needs of each client according to their needs and cleaning demands.

The service is just perfect:

Looking at the complexity of cleaning needs, one can say that it is a difficult job. However, with us, it is not a difficult job. We are investigative and we have defined approaches. We first try to find out what kind of cleaning the specific building needs and that the clients are looking for such as:

  • Cleaning service Sydney
  • House Cleaning Sydney
  • Office Cleaning Sydney
  • Commercial Cleaning Sydney
  • End Of Lease Cleaning Sydney
  • Carpet Cleaning Sydney
  • Window Cleaning Sydney

By looking at both these factors, we then decide a strategy to give the cleaning solution. The plans are executed by the smart and trained professionals who follow the service protocol.

We use the latest cleaning tools and our staff are trained to stay abreast of technological evolution and changes that the market witness now and then. Visit: www.mrmeticulous.com.au

When it comes to the use of materials, we are sensitive on this front because we want our clients to have a solution free setting and for that reason, we use eco-friendly cleaning materials. He added too.

The cost of the cleaning service is designed to meet the exact demands of the clients so that we can take care of the budget of the clients. This is something that a lot of clients find effective because they can get a bespoke solution. The great thing is that we also give a guarantee on the service that Mr. Meticulous Cleaning Sydney offers. He also said.

Digitpol’s Cyber experts step in as criminals seek to exploit Coronavirus fears

0

Criminal gangs are exploiting the corona virus to commit cyber related crimes. During this period, Digitpol has appointed an incident response team to provide rapid response to business that are affected by a cyber-attack, data breach, malware or other forms of cyber attacks. If your business has suffered a cyber attack, contact Digitpol for assistance.

The public are being urged to follow online safety advice as evidence emerges that criminals are exploiting the weakness related to the Coronavirus online.  Digitpol’s advice is for the public to follow only information from government sources such as your local government or national government website. Cyber criminals are using the internet to spread misinformation with content that contains links to malicious content.

Coronavirus phishing scams started circulating in January, preying on fear and confusion about the virus and they’ve only proliferated since. Last week, Brno University Hospital in the Czech Republic a major Covid-19 testing hub suffered a ransomware attack that disrupted operations and caused surgery postponements. And even sophisticated nation state hackers have been using pandemic-related traps to spread their malware.

Experts from the National Cyber Security Centre have revealed a range of attacks being perpetrated online as cyber criminals seek to exploit COVID-19. Techniques seen since the start of the year include bogus emails with links claiming to have important updates, which once clicked on lead to devices being infected. These ‘phishing’ attempts have been seen in several countries and can lead to loss of money and sensitive data. These attacks are versatile and can be conducted through various media, adapted to different sectors and monetized via multiple means, including ransomware, credential theft, bitcoin or fraud.

Due to the coronavirus, people are working from home on personal devices and issued laptops, the key security risk is the lack of cyber security systems in personal environments. Critical issues such as unsecured Wi-Fi, LAN, additional devices on the same network with weaker security all pose a risk when staff operate commercial or enterprise applications from their homes.

Digitpol’s Cyber Crime and Security Investigation experts investigate, analyse and recover forensic data from the Internet. Digitpol utilises industry standard Internet monitoring platforms to detect keywords and find evidence on servers globally. Data obtained from cyber channels is most effective when linked to physical evidence as additional proof.

When Digitpol is engaged, we ensure that no digital evidence is overlooked and assist at any stage of an investigation, regardless of the size or location of data sources. Claims of leaks, fraud, cyber espionage, financial tampering, computer crime, employee misconduct, and other illegal or wrongdoing actions require corporations, law firms, and government agencies to deploy digital forensic methods to piece together facts that lead to the truth.

The COVID-19 ransomware threat

Ransomware continues to be one of the most severe threats facing organizations of all kinds, especially as attack methods continue to evolve. Like any criminal enterprise, the gangs behind the operation of ransomware will exploit current concerns to infect victims. The coronavirus pandemic is, sadly, not exempt from this. We’ve already seen COVID-19 infection distribution maps laced with malware, and the U.S. Attorney, Scott Brady, has warned people to be wary of an “unprecedented” wave of coronavirus scams.

Lawrence Abrams, the creator of BleepingComputer, reached out to the cybercrime groups behind the operation of some of the most prolific and dangerous ransomware threats. Abrams asked a simple question: will you continue to target health and medical organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic? At the time of writing, two had replied and their answers might surprise many readers. The first to respond were the operators of the DoppelPaymer ransomware threat, who told Abrams that they “always try to avoid hospitals, nursing homes.” When attacking local government targets, they “do not touch 911,” although sometimes emergency communications are hit due to network misconfigurations.

Unauthorised access Investigation 

We investigate and analyse unauthorised cyber access or hacking incidents such as when someone gains access to your cloud, server or physical device without your permission. Hackers may gain access to your computer or device through security weaknesses, malware or phishing. Once they have compromised your email, banking or social media accounts, they can change passwords preventing you from accessing your account. Scammers often send out messages impersonating and directing people to fake websites, or asking them to send money. Modern attacks are very sophisticated the fake websites may seem to be genuine.

Malware Analysis 

Malware analysis is the study or process of determining the functionality, origin and potential impact of a given malware sample such as a virus, worm, trojan horse, rootkit, or backdoor. Cyber Criminals may use malicious software (or malware) to monitor your online activity and cause damage to the computer. Malware is often downloaded when people open an infected email attachment or click a suspicious link in an email. Malware can also be used to steal your usernames, passwords or other information, which is then forwarded to a third party.

‘Malware’ is a catch all term to describe different types of malware which include viruses, worms, spyware, trojans or bots. Digitpol’s specialised Malware and Virus analysis team trace malware, detect and remove threats and analyse the function and trace data transfer routes.

Sophisticated attacks Investigation 

Sophisticated criminals are active daily to exploit vulnerabilities on computers and other devices. Some of the techniques they use include:

  • unauthorised access or hacking – when someone gains access to your computer or device without permission,
  • malware – malicious software (such as viruses, trojans and spyware) which monitor your online activity and cause damage to the computer,
  • denial of service attacks – an attack which floods a computer or website with data, causing it to overload and prevent it from functioning properly. This type of attack is more frequently targeted at businesses, rather than individuals.


DDOS – Denial of service or distributed denial of service attacks Investigation

Cyber attacks are common and often a method seen is a denial of service attack which floods a computer or website with data, which can overload the system or computer and prevent it from functioning properly. Unlike hacking or malware, it generally doesn’t involve access to the computer system. A distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack is a denial of service attack that comes from multiple systems, often a network of compromised computers.

Email Fraud Investigation

Digitpol’s Cyber and Fraud Team are certified fraud and forensic examiners and can deploy to assist with all cases related to email fraud, email spear phishing attacks, email scams and on-line related fraud. Digitpol can deploy forensic examiners to investigate hacking, determine how it took place and report the findings, Digitpol ensures that hackers are not active in your network and ensure your user accounts policies and rules are configured correctly to prevent further attacks.

Phishing Attack Investigation

Phishing attacks, email fraud, scams, online fraud happens in most cases when cyber criminals find ways to hack into the email servers or accounts of small and medium companies, often targeting those with business in Asia countries. Cyber criminals gain access to email accounts and  search through email accounts looking for sensitive information such as outstanding, unpaid invoices or data relating to financial transactions and business between supplier, vendor and clients. When cyber criminals identify a sale or a due invoice, the fraudsters then send various fictitious emails from the hacked email account or an email address replicated to the original purporting to be in charge of the sale or due invoice to be paid, the fraudster is then asking for transfers of funds into a nominated bank account, usually giving an excuse that there is a problem at the bank and an alternative account needs to be used. It is common that the nominated account is in the same name as the company name or with a very slight change such as an extra letter. It is common the bank account to be in the same city as the victim or client.

Office 365 Phishing Attack Investigation

Digitpol’s Cyber and Fraud Team are certified examiners and can assist to all cases related to Phishing attacks, email scams and fraud. Digitpol can deploy forensic examiners to investigate the hack, determine how it took place and report the findings, Digitpol ensures that hackers are not active in your network and ensure your user accounts policies and rules are configured correctly to prevent further attacks.

If your company has been targeted by a phishing attack such as Internet Fraud, CEO Fraud or Email Fraud and Scams and funds have been transferred to a bank account, we can help you, but only if you act fast and if you have the proof. If Digitpol is notified in time, Digitpol will assist to stop the funds from been transferred further and assist with all matters such as reporting the crime to the local Police in the region the funds have been transferred to.

Cyberwarfare

Cyberwarfare is the use of technology to attack a nation, causing comparable harm to actual warfare. ‘Cyberwarfare’ does not imply scale, protraction or violence which are typically associated with the term ‘war’. Digitpol’s Cyber Intelligence Team monitors the most serious threats and rogue actors, we collect Cyber Threat Intelligence 24/7.

Eastsound, Washington – March 19, 2020 – OrcaSong Farm & Institute is committed to supporting and making safe this place we love and the people who inhabit it as we all seek a safe, proactive and appropriately scaled response to the spread of the novel coronavirus. With that in mind, OrcaSong Farm has created a new hand sanitizer for its community and beyond. “We had the ingredients and the know-how, so we created a germ killing and skin softening hand sanitizer to help protect our community,” says Farm Manager Ariana Terrence. “We will have the hand sanitizer for sale online and in stores, but we will also be giving some away to those in our community who may need it.”

BestValued Helps In Preparing Against The Novel Coronavirus

0

The Global pandemic continues to create panic among individuals of all ages with numbers increasing by the minute. Coronavirus (Covid-19) started generating headlines early 2020, within a short span of time, it is the most discussed topic globally due to its unprecedented speed of transmission. The novel coronavirus causes severe acute respiratory syndrome and is likely to get contracted between individuals.

The pandemic has rapidly evolved and the only question that comes to anyone’s lips is that “How can I stay unaffected from the virus?” There’s not much that one can do to avoid the disease, except taking a few preventative measures that ensure lesser chances of transmission. Health officials that have closely monitored the virus since its outbreak have analysed the main transmission patterns that can be avoided to keep your loved ones and friends safe with the help of a few personal and household hygiene essentials that are pre-approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).  However, most products listed by the health officials are currently unavailable due to high-demand of the products which has caused panic among individuals with what and where to purchase the products.

BestValued, the hand-curated shopping assistant has listed a Health and Hygiene essentials list to prevent coronavirus transmission for personal and household items that is regularly updated with products that are available and similar alternatives to the listed products.

Taking Care of Personal Hygiene

In the midst of all the confusion and transmission about the viral outbreak, it is important that people do not panic with the fear of exposure but at the same time do not disregard the news and guidance to avoid the transmission. Steps to improve personal hygiene top the list of preventative measures to fight the virus. Regular washing of hands with an anti-bacterial, avoiding touching your face are some of the basic measures one can take with personal hygiene. Some additional precautions that can be taken to reduce the risk of transmission from outsiders and spreading it with your loved ones can be implemented. Using alcohol based hand sanitizers that contain a minimum of 60 percent alcohol can be proven useful to reduce transmission. Social distancing needs to be one of your important priorities, maintaining a certain distance with the people you come in contact with can go a long way in reducing the chances of contracting the disease. Furthermore, small things like avoiding social gatherings and public events can have a disproportionate impact on how the virus transmits. 

Protecting your family & Friends

One of the early reports of the outbreak by chinese officials stated that one of the common ways the virus spreads is through households.  People need to take better precautions when dealing with their loved ones and friends while at the same time implementing better hygiene standards for their homes. Cleaning and disinfecting commonly used equipment and areas can ensure higher standards of safety and maintain the integrity of homes. Many find it difficult to choose which certain products can be useful in disinfecting the virus strains. BestValued’s list of Health and Hygiene, can help in selecting different product brands in multiple categories for better choice of products to help keep your loved ones safe.

How to be prepared

Overall, the trauma of Covid-19 only seems to be aggravating and causing distraught amongst many individuals. These straightforward simple steps of ensuring better hygiene conditions can minimize the chances of the epidemic spreading into homes and help reduce the tension when planned efficiently. However, these household and personal hygiene products do not guarantee the elimination of the virus strain but will definitely suppress the odds of the disease spreading through acquaintances. One must keep themselves updated with the news updates and guidance from health officials till the global pandemic is under control. Shopping assistant’s like BestValued can help in recommending products approved by the CDC or similar alternatives that are currently available in the market.

“BestValued strives to provide solutions to online shoppers who face difficulty in finding the best product suitable for their needs and make their shopping experience like a breeze.”

Zensors Offers AI Platform to Assist Cities & Businesses with Social Distancing Compliance for COVID-19

0

We believe our AI computer vision platform will be helpful for governments, hospitals, airports and essential businesses as they respond to COVID-19 around the world. We are taking unprecedented steps to provide free world-wide access to the Zensors platform for emergency use through June 1, 2020. In addition, we invite machine learning researchers and technical experts to collaborate with us in this effort.

Learn more about the platform at www.zensors.com

Over the past few weeks, the Zensors team across Pittsburgh, New York City and Mumbai has been trying to determine how our platform can be helpful in response to COVID-19. We have the ability to rapidly scale our infrastructure to answer real-time operational questions about spaces using CCTV video cameras. Critically, Zensors can connect IP cameras to our platform in a matter of hours and immediately start generating secure, anonymous data for leaders and citizens.

An AI Platform to Reduce Risk and Build Trust with Fearful Customers

As governments, hospitals, airports, and essential businesses take the necessary actions to protect human health, especially for our most vulnerable populations, practices and policies concerning large gatherings, cleaning, and social distancing are changing by the day. By using existing CCTV cameras that are already installed throughout communities and businesses, Zensors can provide anonymous real-time occupancy data to help enforce better social distancing and remotely power real-time intelligence for businesses that have limited onsite staff.

We are ready to help anyone responding to COVID-19 answer concerns such as:

  • How many people are in your facility or out in public places in your city?
  • Are gatherings remaining within the suggested or mandated congregation limit?
  • Are people following recommended social distancing policies?
  • Where and when should cleaning personnel focus their activities based on which surfaces have had recent interaction?
  • For those regions in the world where wearing face masks is strongly encouraged or mandatory, how many people are wearing masks?

Until June 1, 2020, Zensors is offering free access to our entire platform for selected entities who are on the forefront of responding to this crisis, including our airport clients around the world. We will also provide no-cost, expedited setup and one free Zensors On-Prem Interface (ZOPI) hardware device to ensure secure, encrypted connectivity to the Zensors cloud-based servers hosted by Amazon Web Services.

“The Zensors platform is a remote work toolkit for physical businesses to optimize the deployment of limited assets.”

By using Zensors to automatically analyze millions of images of your city or facility each day, limited human resources can be better allocated to cleaning, crowd control and health policy enforcement. Zensors AI can provide deep, real-time insights and help local governments and organizations weather this crisis and prepare for the future. Our technology may be able to help keep people safer, decrease fear, and speed up business recovery by assuring citizens that new levels of monitoring and vigilance are in place.

Working with the Community

The Zensors platform interfaces with a wide variety of IP cameras and IoT sensors. As we seek to help in this time of need, the Zensors team is keenly aware that our response will be enhanced through collaboration with other technical experts. We have an open API and can enable anyone with technical knowledge or unique data sources to build novel systems and solutions.

We invite ML collaborators to join our team of Carnegie Mellon University computer scientists in designing more robust and helpful deep learning models during this unprecedented crisis. We are also interested in working with geographic information system (GIS) experts who can help us integrate our data onto ESRI and other mapping platforms.

Our response and solutions will be more resilient, thoughtful and effective if we collaborate with others. There may be additional ways to use our technologies to combat COVID-19, and we invite collaborators from academia and industry to help us figure out what these are.

If you want to join us in any part of this effort, please contact us immediately.

About Zensors

Zensors enables smart and reactive spaces by transforming CCTV cameras into virtual IoT sensors using new advances in computer vision. We are a startup spun out of Carnegie Mellon University—the birthplace of Artificial Intelligence—and we serve clients in the smart city, airport, ground transportation, hospitality, food & beverage, co-working, and sports markets. Our fundamental belief is that advances in AI should be accessible to everyone and applied to everyday problems in order to improve government, business and  human life.

Some of the Zensors platform capabilities include:

  • Occupancy monitoring across cities, airports, large venues and businesses; people counting for public places.
  • Space and queue monitoring to determine if people are standing too close to each other in lines or in gathering spaces.
  • Dynamic dispatch and tracking of cleaning crews to most trafficked areas and tracking of cleaning crews to ensure they respond accordingly.
  • Management, operational, and public dashboards that can be pushed to any screen or mobile device.
  • Notifications and alerts via email and SMS.

So sit down, get that popcorn, pet your cats, and enjoy this tour of absurdity as we continue to support our performers from around the world.
