Change is the only constant in the universe.

That, and no one ever plugs in USB devices the right way the first time. Make that two universal constants.

FireLogic is witnessing a big change. Our VP of Operations, Jacob Balson is moving on to another organization. The greatest asset of any organization is its people. After 8 years on this team, we are losing one of our best people.

Best wishes from the team on your future endeavors, JB!

We live in some challenging times. We help our clients avoiding cybercrime, and organizations like Self-Help Closet & Pantry of Des Plaines help people who have fallen on hard times. We were thrilled to help with collecting non-perishable food and baby wipes at an annual stop of a bus tour put on by some of the best IT vendors. We have been honored by the The MSP Initiative a few times now to help secure a venue for the tour's Chicago location. Thanks to all parties involved, including a special shout out to Henry L Timm and Technology Solutions for his whole team walking up with armfuls of contributions. Thanks George Bardissi, Sade Mendez, Kenneth Patterson from the excellent Pax8 , the Carbon Systems team, and everyone involved with !

Update your iPhones now!

From cnet:

"Apple released security updates for its iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches and Mac computers earlier this week that close a vulnerability reportedly exploited by invasive spyware built by NSO Group, an Israeli security company.

The fix, earlier reported by The New York Times, stems from research done by a public interest cybersecurity group called Citizen Lab that found a Saudi activist's phone had been infected with Pegasus, NSO's best-known product. According to Citizen Lab, the zero-day, zero-click exploit against iMessage, which it nicknamed ForcedEntry, targets Apple's image rendering library and was effective against the company's iPhones, laptops and Apple Watches. "

Got questions on how to update your Apple gear? Call Mike at 312-445-0702 and set up an appointment with one of FireLogic's technicians.

No long waits at the Apple store with us!

Since the virus canned our 2020 holiday party, what better way to celebrate the FireLogic anniversary than... an Xmas in July party?! Team members past and present made it out for a night of fun & catching up this past weekend at the always-stellar Main Event. And a BIG BIG congrats to the team member voted MVP of the year, Seth E! Thanks to all who came out for our delayed holiday party, and we hope to see you for the 2021 party (that should be back on schedule finally -- hopefully) 🙃
