A dangerous virus is actively targeting small businesses and homes in SW Washington and the Portland area right now. It arrives as a fake document signing email, installs silently, and gives attackers complete access to your computer; including your passwords and files.
The worst part?
Norton, Malwarebytes, BitDefender, ESET, and Windows Defender are NOT catching it.
This is a real, confirmed threat we have personally responded to at multiple local businesses.
I put together a free removal tool specifically for this virus, available for free to anyone who might need it!

If you opened an unexpected e-signature email recently, get your computer checked ASAP!
After encountering even MORE infected client systems (unrelated to each other) and researching the findings, I have released a MAJOR update to my JWrapper & Weaponized ScreenConnect Remediation Tool (Medusa IAB Variant); Version 2.2

I've been seeing more and more DNS hijack infections on routers, switches, and servers as of late. It's a genuinely clever tactic and scary too: the attacker only needs to briefly gain access and very lightly maintain it. Once they've rerouted your DNS to a server they control, they can quietly sit in the middle of your traffic and analyze your traffic packets, harvest credentials, the works.
This isn't theoretical, and it isn't rare either.
I've written this article to bring some attention to what's going on, explain how these attacks actually work, and (most importantly) show you how to defend your equipment and check whether it's already been hit, without needing to be a network engineer.

These are the apps that have actually earned a spot on my phone, either all the time or just if/as I need. But these are the ones that I can and do reach for during client visits, network troubleshooting, and security work. blog.pacificnwcomputers.com/…
This little @GLiNetWiFi GL-X2000 is set up with a @Eiotclub_ Cellular data plan, and it saved my butt the other day when there was an infrastructure related outage with Comcast. My system just failed over to the GLiNet router and its EIoT data kept me going!
Version 2.4 of my Windows "SystemTester" utility is out today! It's a no-install, thumb-drive friendly, PowerShell toolkit that runs a set of Sysinternals & Windows checks and gives a detailed log/summary of findings! github.com/Pnwcomputers/Syst…
Introducing a self-hosted, cross-platform, social media posting hub; that is built on a Raspberry Pi!
It will simultaneously publish to Mastodon, Bluesky, Telegram, LinkedIn, and Facebook from a single web dashboard!! @github@GithubProjectsgithub.com/Pnwcomputers/Pi-S…
