It’s Cyber Smart Week next week. This year’s theme is “Find a Scam before it finds you”.

AI is changing the cybersecurity landscape. It’s helping cyber criminals operate faster and at greater scale and making scams more convincing and harder to spot.

If you’re an older person and use the Internet for everyday things, we recommend joining the “You’ve got mail…But is it real? How to spot scams and stay safe online” webinar presented by Karen Billings-Jensen, Chief Executive, Age Concern; and Shane Boyle, South Island Regional Representative, Federation of New Zealand SeniorNet Societies on TUESDAY 6 OCTOBER, 1PM – 2PM.

This FREE practical webinar explores real-world examples of the latest online scams and the simple cybersecurity habits that can help protect you. Learn how to spot the warning signs, protect your accounts and personal information, and know what to do when something doesn’t seem right.

Webinar Registration - Zoom

If you would like help registering for the webinar or setting up Zoom; or have any questions about scams and staying safe online, please don’t hesitate to give Michael a call on 021 728 321 or email [email protected]. He’s here to help.

Did you know Microsoft have brought forward the end-of-life date for Microsoft Publisher?

If you have a Microsoft 365 subscription, 𝐓𝐎𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐎𝐖 – 𝟑𝟎 𝐒𝐄𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐄𝐑 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 – is the last day you’ll be able to use Microsoft Publisher.

If you have brought a license, for example Microsoft Office 2019 Home & Business, for Microsoft Publisher, then the last day you’ll be able to use Microsoft Publisher is 13 October 2026.

Microsoft has advised there won’t be a replacement for Publisher.
There is though 𝐆𝐎𝐎𝐃 𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒!

if you use Microsoft Publisher and have Publisher files saved on your computer, Michael can help with a smart tech solution to help protect and save your files either before Microsoft Publisher is discontinued OR shortly after Publisher is discontinued.

Get in touch with me today on 021 728 321 or [email protected] to find out how you can keep accessing and using your Microsoft Publisher files. I'm here to help!

• Break reminders and meeting overload alerts
• Analytics showing how you spend your time

Viva Insights is like having a quiet assistant who helps keep you organised and on track!
