Tech Price Shockwave: SSDs prices Have Quadrupled in Months.

I had to post this because it's honestly wild and I know a lot of you in IT, business, content creation, or just building/upgrading systems are going to feel this.

Back in November 2025, I picked up 4 SSD hard drives wholesale for around $700 each. Great deal at the time – reliable enterprise-grade storage for a project I was working on.
Fast forward to today (April 2026) – just a few months later – and the exact same wholesaler is now quoting me a little over $3,000 EACH for those identical drives.

Over 4x the price. In under 6 months.
I thought it was a typo at first. It wasn’t.
And I’m not alone. This is happening across the board with SSDs, NAND flash memory, and even spilling into RAM and full PC/laptop pricing.

Industry reports show:

NAND wafer prices have skyrocketed up to 246% since early 2025.

High-capacity enterprise SSDs have seen jumps of 200–257% in some cases (we’re talking some 30TB models going from ~$3K to nearly $11K).

Why is this happening?
The AI boom. Data centers and hyperscalers are absolutely devouring NAND flash and storage capacity to power massive AI training and inference workloads. Manufacturers are prioritizing high-margin AI production, factories can’t ramp up fast enough, and 2026 stock is already largely sold out.

The golden era of cheap SSDs is officially over for now. This “perfect storm” is pushing up costs for servers, NAS builds, gaming rigs, video editing workstations, and even consumer electronics.

Ever seen the movie Beekeeper? The Beekeeper may not exist but the threat portrayed in the movie is all too real.

This is not a real virus. It's a common online scam known as a tech support scam (also called a browser locker or scareware popup).
Scammers create fake web pages that mimic official warnings (often pretending to be from Microsoft, Apple, or your antivirus software).

These pages:
• Claim your computer is infected with a virus, hacked, or locked for security reasons.
• Display a scary alert in full-screen mode with loud audio warnings.
• Provide a phone number to call for "help."
• Make it hard to close the browser tab or window (e.g., hiding close buttons or looping back if you try to navigate away).

The goal is to scare you into calling the number, where fraudsters pose as tech support. They may trick you into paying for fake fixes, granting remote access to your computer (to install real malware or steal data), or revealing personal/financial information.
Legitimate companies like Microsoft or antivirus providers never display pop-up alerts with phone numbers or lock your browser like this. Real error messages don't include toll-free support hotlines.

Poor spam attempt...a little disappointed in this effort.

Couple of things to point out -

1. They don't know my name although claim that I'm a customer. 2.They spell Norton with zeros opposed to the letter O.
3. The "organizer" has an email address from India (ends with .in)
4. They plaster the phone number repeatedly for me to call to dispute the charge. When was the last time you've seen a company do that?

Here's the email -

ATTENTION GMAIL USERS

A recent Google data breach has put 2.5 BILLION Gmail accounts at risk! Hackers from the group ShinyHunters accessed sensitive data through Google’s Salesforce database, potentially exposing names and contact info. No passwords were leaked, but scammers are using this to launch phishing and vishing attacks.

Here’s how to stay safe:

Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) NOW.

Switch to passkeys for stronger protection.

Run Google’s Security Checkup to spot vulnerabilities.

Be wary of suspicious calls or emails claiming to be from Google – they’ll never ask for your password!

Stay vigilant and protect your account! Share this to spread the word.

BJC HealthCare MyChart Users

BJC HealthCare has reached a settlement in a class action lawsuit regarding the use of website tracking tools on their MyChart patient portal. The lawsuit claimed that sensitive patient information was shared with third parties like Meta and Google without consent. If you used the BJC MyChart portal between June 2017 and August 2022, you may be eligible for a $35 payment as part of the $9.25 million settlement. This settlement will also cover legal fees and administrative costs.

Another Scam E-Mail

Ignoring the fact that we don't do timesheets, I'm pretty sure if we did they wouldn't be coming from Anguilla.

The attached PDF itself is not harmful but inside it links to a page that asks for your username/password which they will receive once entered and then they go straight to O365 and start trying to login. They already have your email address (that's how you received the email) that's half the battle for O365 credentials.

Just a remind to pay close attention to any email asking for any information.

Received this texting scam today - Swing and a miss...stay vigilant

Official MoDOT Stance: The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has explicitly stated that it will never solicit payments for toll fees or traffic violation fees via text messages. Multiple sources, including MoDOT’s official website, confirm this.
Suspicious URL: The URL "https://modot.org-KJ" is not legitimate. Official MoDOT communications would use the verified domain "modot.org" without additional suffixes like "-KJ". Scammers often use slightly altered URLs to mimic legitimate organizations. The inclusion of "-KJ" is a red flag, as it’s not associated with MoDOT’s official website.

Common Scam Tactics: The text aligns with a widespread "smishing" (SMS phishing) scam targeting drivers across multiple states, including Missouri. These scams typically:
Claim unpaid traffic tickets or tolls.

Use urgent language to create fear (e.g., threats of penalties, license suspension, or credit score damage).

Include fraudulent links to steal personal or financial information.
No Toll Roads in Missouri: MoDOT has emphasized that there are no toll roads or bridges in Missouri, making any claim about owing tolls inherently false.

Verification: Legitimate traffic violation notices in Missouri are typically sent via mail, not unsolicited texts. If you haven’t received a physical letter or verified court documentation, the claim is fake. You can verify any legitimate tickets by contacting MoDOT directly at 1-888-ASK-MODOT (275-6636) or checking your driving record through the Missouri Department of Revenue’s official website (dor.mo.gov).

AI Tools Are Getting Smarter for Small Businesses

AI is becoming a go-to for small businesses to handle everyday tasks. Shopify recently announced over 150 updates, including an AI assistant called Sidekick that now supports 20 languages and offers personalized insights for managing your online store.

Meta is also testing AI-powered customer service agents for Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp to answer customer questions instantly. These tools act like virtual employees, handling things like customer support or marketing content creation.

Why it matters: AI can save you hours by automating repetitive tasks, letting you focus on growing your business. Many tools are affordable or even free to start.

What to do: If you sell online, explore Shopify’s Sidekick or similar AI tools like ChatGPT for writing emails or creating social media posts. Test one tool to see how it fits your needs.

Try one thing: Pick a single tool, like an AI assistant or website builder, and test it for a month to see the impact.
