I have signed up to the 30 Day Blogging Challenge by Sarah at SarkeMedia.com in the hope that this will help me revitalise my creativity, which has often been coming up blank lately. There are lots of different prompts out there, simply run a search on google and you can opt to do one day or one month worth of challenges.
I find Pinterest a fantastic resource when I am feeling at a loss. Not only can you find more blogging prompts there, but also great resources on how to grow your blog, improve it, refresh old content and tons of other ideas to make your blog stand out. You can pin ideas relating to your hobbies, children and whatever you enjoy in order to fill your boots to the brim with tons of creative ideas.
It's so simple but just getting outside, blasting away the cobwebs and filling your lungs with fresh air can invigorate your senses and your mind and often bring some brilliant ideas to the forefront. If nothing else a dose of Vitamin D is good for us all so don't just stay cooped up inside.
If you write an interiors blog, get an interiors magazine; if you're a parent then something like Gurgle is a great read or maybe you're more political and current affairs so maybe a copy of The Times would help. There's bound to be something within the cover that makes you think and maybe answer some questions that come to mind from an article, or maybe you think you could write about a topic better, or you just want a rant. There's a blog post in there somewhere!
As I would for social media management, Facebook is such a good place to go for blog content. People are sharing things left, right and centre that is relevant and relateable to you and your audience. Just one image could be the start of a whole heap of content that you'd never before considered, and asking questions on your social media is a great way to get conversations flowing and give you great content at the same time.
Don't wait until you sit down to start thinking about what to write. I'm always thinking of blog ideas in the most random of places, so I tend to write a title or jot some points down in a draft post on blogger and go back to it later. If that's not possible then just a pad and pen will do, which I can put into blogger when I get chance. Then when I'm struggling I've got a ready made list of topics I can revisit and find an idea from.
As always, practice makes perfect and the more you write the more you'll want to write and the better you will get. If you have nothing in your mind, just write, you may be surprised what comes out.
Good luck with your writing - let me know what you use to inspire you!

Starting a blog can be overwhelming so I’ve compiled a list of my favorite blogging resources. I am suggesting these resources because I either use them and believe in them or know someone who does and trust their judgement. Some of these recommendations are affiliate links meaning if you click them and end up buying something or subscribing to something I will earn a commission at no added cost to you.
I spent so much time researching different web hosts, a year really. I knew the choice would be between the top two and I ended up going with SiteGround which is usually ranked 1 or 2 on most hosting lists. In order to have a successful blog and especially if you plan to monetize it self hosting is a must. I have been very happy with my site’s speed, load times and up time. They have different types of hosting, I use WordPress hosting, and different plans to choose from starting at $3.95 a month.
You will need to install a theme for your blog. While there are many free themes you can use you may decide to upgrade to a paid theme. Themes can run anywhere from $0 – $1000 but most are usually between $15 – $80. Even though I love a bargain sometimes it pays to spend a little more to get a better product and many times paid themes come with added benefits. I use the Lucy & Lane theme from Angie Makes. There are lots of helpful tips in the Knowledge Base if you find yourself lost or you can contact support for more detailed help.

With an abundance of cafés in Montreal, it’s hard to decide which place is the best for over-caffeinating. To help students choose where to pretend to study, The McGill Tribune has compiled a list of the best coffeeshops that are sure to brew up good ideas for any upcoming paper or project.
A mere two minutes away from McGill’s Downtown campus, this café offers a quintessential university experience that few coffee shops can truly match. Opened in 2016, it’s attached to McGill’s Carrefour Sherbrooke residence, so study-goers can enjoy a cup of coffee while listening to the sounds of first years stressing over their exams. The ambience of this Starbucks is unique, with an upstairs study area that mimics Birks Library without librarians constantly shushing you. However, one let down is that many menu items are frequently unavailable at this location—if you have a hankering for a quiche, you will most likely have to look elsewhere.
This Starbucks coffee shop provides customers with a gorgeous view of avenue du Parc, the most iconic street in Montreal’s Milton-Parc neighbourhood. If you don’t mind competing with other McGill students for a table where half of the outlets don’t even work, this is the study spot for you. However, with the generic “indie coffee shop” playlist blaring so loudly that you can hear it through your headphones, and food way too expensive for the frugal scholar, you’ll probably only be able to study here for a maximum of 10 unproductive minutes. Make sure to visit this location as soon as possible as it’s closing on March 30.
Located in the heart of Les Cours Mont-Royal, this Starbucks goes against the grain when it comes to environment. Situated in the underground mall, it boasts a sinusoidal pattern of pedestrian chaos and lulled tranquility every four to six minutes in accordance with the arrival of the nearby metro. It also showcases an impressive interior design by blending its seating into the surrounding food court area. Best of all, this Starbucks has the worst online rating of all the coffee shops in the list, boasting a solid two out of five stars on Yelp.
Found in the beautiful Plateau neighbourhood, this Starbucks is one of a kind. Only a couple of blocks away from beloved Café Campus, its location offers the perfect balance between class and trash. In addition, they offer many pastries that closer-to-campus locations cannot, but keep in mind that their quality does in no way compare to the many local bakeries nearby. However, it may be hard to find a spot to sit since the place tends to be packed with students trying to avoid the library.

We’ve been reading up on New Year Eve party ideas and the ‘Oh so sophisticated’ theme caught our attention. Always adding value to our clients’ experience at Reel Time Photo Booths we thought you might enjoy some ideas to work with when you plan your New Year Eve party. You could even incorporate the photo booth that you hired from Reel Time Photo Booths in creating fun mementos that your guests can take away with them.
Easy white and gold elegance is the trend and you could do most of it yourself. Have fringed garlands of tissue paper and aluminum foil, use glittery card stock letters strung together as a backdrop for the open ended mobile photo booth.
Use fairy lights around the room and add white pillar candles, prettied up with glitter paper as centre pieces. You could even glitz up the bubbly and accompanying glasses.
The elegance of the theme could be portrayed in the tablescape with simplicity in the tablecloth and added dramatic flair in the table runner. White roses are always a winner as they are elegance perfected.
Elegant photo booth props are heart shaped black and white frames, elegant yet sassy eyewear frames, feathered masks, crocheted parasols, classy handheld fans to let only your eyes do the talking. Or, you could always decide to have photo booth props that provides a quirkiness to your ‘Oh so sophisticated New Year’s Eve Celebration’ and take the mickey out of the theme. It is after all your party, and you can have it any way you want to.

text: We spend a lot of time sitting, whether it be for playing an instrument, working at the computer, or any number of daily activities. This position which is so familiar is often at the source of many pains which slowly settle in over time: tension in the back, the neck, the eyes… Our ability to be comfortable sitting has a direct effect on what we do while sitting, and we often wonder how to be “better” seated. What is a “good” position so that you no longer hurt? But what does it really mean to be “sitting well”? Rather than find an ideal and fixed position we can also have fun exploring the many variations that exist in this position and thus find, according to each individual’s needs, more comfort and flexibility in order to do whatever we need to do.

"Oh, you are stuck on homework problem number 13? I found a solution on YouTube. That helped a lot. Just Google it, you can find all the solutions."
The second problem is partially my fault. When I give an in-class assessment, I leave the solution out on the front desk so that students can check their answers when they are finished. Instead of studying this and figuring out their mistakes, students will usually just take a quick picture of the solutions using their phone. Of course they ask if it's OK to take a snapshot first, and I let them. However, the problem is that they think of the solution as something to collect rather than something to learn from.
Confusion is the sweat of learning.
You can't just google a physics solution and expect to learn. Imagine if Luke Skywalker had access to the Internet on Dagobah. Here's what would have happened when his x-wing sunk beneath the water.
Yoda: So certain are you? Always with you what cannot be done. Do you nothing that I say?
Luke: Master moving stones around is one thing, but this is entirely different. But let me just Google "how to lift an x-wing with the Force." Ah. Here it is.
Of course that's not what happened (I would make this alternate scene into a comic if I could actually draw). Luke learned about the Force by failing. Yes, students learn physics by working on problems and by failing to solve problems. It's the journey to the solution that's important, not the solution itself. Using a video solution would be like using a golf cart to run 5 miles. Sure, you end up in the same place if you run or ride—but they do not produce the same results.
But why do students think this? Why do they think learning is as simple as quick search or a photo with their smart phone? There are likely many reasons for students to hold these learning beliefs. However, I popular media often doesn't help. Remember this scene from The Avengers?
SHIELD agent Maria Hill asks Tony Stark: "When did you become an expert in thermonuclear astrophysics?" Stark's answer: "Last night". This shows that Tony Stark is so awesome he just figured astrophysics out last night. Clearly, students feel that you have to be a special superhero to understand astrophysics. You either get it in one night, or you'll never get it. I would prefer to have Stark say "Well, I've been working in this field for 10 years and I'm just scratching the surface." Maybe that wouldn't fit too well in the movie.
Or here's another good one from Days of Thunder.
Cole pulls up to the race track to test out a stock car.
See. Learning is simple. You just need to watch some videos and you'll be all set—except when you aren't. Nope. Learning is tough, but it's totally worth it.

Anyone know if these are preinstalled with windows 10 pro or home version? Been looking at the staples website and HP site, couldn't find info on which version of OS is installed on the system. Any suggestions?
Not sure if I could deal with Win 10 (spy on me and patch when MS says) Home version though.
how does this compare to this one?
I got the i7 directly from HP awhile back. It had very little bloatware on it and set up extremely easy. I took the case off to see how easy it'd be to add an HD and.... Not terribly. But I didn't really need to so it was no big deal. Pretty impressed so far.
Looks like that Dell deal has expired.
You most likely can not stop the spying on you. I do not buy you are not spied on in Windows 7.
As to the patching when they want. Windows 10 is not nearly as bad at that as Windows 7. I have had 10 for some time now. Installed it while it was still free upgrade fairly soon after it started that. Only about twice did it install and restart when I was using it. Now you walk away and leave it on sometimes it will do that.
I quite like Windows 10 and is seems to work better for me than 7. When you first install it it might be problematic. Seems to take up to two weeks to simmer down. I could not force my 4k to work for the first week or two when upgrading to Windows 10. After a week or a bit more I could but had to specify the 4k settings manually. Once I did that it would recognize my 4k monitor. By the way the video card is not a 4k video card. Most will work on 4k if you manually install it at 26 or 30 hz. For 60 you need the correct cable and a better card. Unfortunately most TV's do not have the best input for 4k.
The processor itself cost $300. So yes it is a good deal if you want a powerful desktop for gaming or something.
Makes more sense to me to add an SSD for the Operating System. Optane Memory speeds up a hard drive but not nearly as much as an SSD. Seems to me for this price not adding an SSD would be foolish. It makes the Desktop so much faster.
The second one down has 24 GB of memory. At least now it does perhaps it did not originally.

Not too familiar with these small form factors. Is the power supply not the standard size? And is it even possible to throw in a short 7" long graphics card? I have a nice 450W Corsair PSU just lying around and would like to put it in this HP as well to make it a gaming rig.
Power supply is 310 volts and it would be difficult to replace it as the power on the MB is uncommon.
75 Watts is the max for a Graphics board. It only has two connections for boards. One large one and a small one.
When you ask them a question they do not really answer it. Their main page is almost completely useless describing the computer.
The Motherboard does have a M1 for a SSD. However they have nothing for a second SATA drive. The Motherboard does. So it might be possible to add one anyway. Power would require a divider for power and another SATA cable.

Any idea how the ram would come on the one with 12gb ram? Meaning is it a single 12gb stick or multiple?
think it will hit 500$ by holidays?
8+4 probably. My prebuilt computer came with ram like that.

i got the i7 directly from hp awhile back. it had very little bloatware on it and set up extremely easy. i took the case off to see how easy it'd be to add an hd and.... not terribly. but i didn't really need to so it was no big deal. pretty impressed so far.
looks like that dell deal has expired.
you most likely can not stop the spying on you. i do not buy you are not spied on in windows 7.
as to the patching when they want. windows 10 is not nearly as bad at that as windows 7. i have had 10 for some time now. installed it while it was still free upgrade fairly soon after it started that. only about twice did it install and restart when i was using it. now you walk away and leave it on sometimes it will do that.
i quite like windows 10 and is seems to work better for me than 7. when you first install it it might be problematic. seems to take up to two weeks to simmer down. i could not force my 4k to work for the first week or two when upgrading to windows 10. after a week or a bit more i could but had to specify the 4k settings manually. once i did that it would recognize my 4k monitor. by the way the video card is not a 4k video card. most will work on 4k if you manually install it at 26 or 30 hz. for 60 you need the correct cable and a better card. unfortunately most tv's do not have the best input for 4k.
the processor itself cost $300. so yes it is a good deal if you want a powerful desktop for gaming or something.
makes more sense to me to add an ssd for the operating system. optane memory speeds up a hard drive but not nearly as much as an ssd. seems to me for this price not adding an ssd would be foolish. it makes the desktop so much faster.
the second one down has 24 gb of memory. at least now it does perhaps it did not originally.

not too familiar with these small form factors. is the power supply not the standard size? and is it even possible to throw in a short 7" long graphics card? i have a nice 450w corsair psu just lying around and would like to put it in this hp as well to make it a gaming rig.
power supply is 310 volts and it would be difficult to replace it as the power on the mb is uncommon.
75 watts is the max for a graphics board. it only has two connections for boards. one large one and a small one.
when you ask them a question they do not really answer it. their main page is almost completely useless describing the computer.
the motherboard does have a m1 for a ssd. however they have nothing for a second sata drive. the motherboard does. so it might be possible to add one anyway. power would require a divider for power and another sata cable.

any idea how the ram would come on the one with 12gb ram? meaning is it a single 12gb stick or multiple?
think it will hit 500$ by holidays?
8+4 probably. my prebuilt computer came with ram like that.

Doodlecraft: Pumpkin Rolls and Smarty Had a Party!
Pumpkin Rolls and Smarty Had a Party!
and serve it on this amazing partyware from Smarty Had A Party!
Can you believe all this dinnerware is plastic?
Beat the 3 eggs and 1 cup sugar until thick and creamy looking.
Add 2/3 of the can of pumpkin...about 1 1/2 cups.
Then add all the dry ingredients.
Get your pan, lined and greased!
You must grease the silicone mat...it's such a sticky cake!
spread it on and bake in the oven.
Bake at 375* for 15-20 minutes. I checked mine at 15 and it was too doughy still.
Check to see if the cake bounces back when you touch it softly.
Have a tea towel with powdered sugar dusted all over it.
Flip the cake on the towel quickly.
Peel off the silicone mat!
Here's where you will be glad you greased it!
Then take the towel and roll the cake up in it!
Put it in the fridge until it is completely cooled.
Unroll the cake, then spread the cream cheese frosting all over the cake.
Now roll up just the cake.
It's got the "muscle memory" of being rolled...so it shouldn't be too difficult.
Once it's rolled, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate.
Then open up and slice.
Remove the ends...they aren't as pretty for guest, but make a great taster.
Sprinkle some powdered sugar on the pumpkin roll and it's ready to serve!
Looks amazing on these dishes!
I want to use these for Thanksgiving dinner--all the beauty, none of the washing!
The brown napkin is cloth...the woven napkin is paper!
The silverware is all plastic!
Wouldn't this make your life so much happier for the holidays?

That girl was way out of my league. Holy lol. I can't believe I was so naive.
I browsed her sister's facebook profile and it's pure sui fuel. All her male friends are chads and pretty boys. She won't even add sub 7 males.
It would be very naive to think that her sister (girl I went out with) is any different. One time I saw her with a guy and he was a 9/10 pretty boy. I could never compete. She probably has an army of chads at her disposal just like her sister.
But NoFap and lifting had boosted my confidence and ego to insane levels that I thought I could get her. I completely overlooked her SMV. I was such a dumbass. There was no way that in 2018 an asocial subhuman like me could have fucked a stacy. How dellusional was I?
So you're just giving up without trying even though she said yes when you asked her on a date?
Didn't you read how it went with her?
You just can't win if you are sub 7. I knew I was pushing my luck. How can I cope for being the ugliest guy she went out with?
Girls have literally 1000s of beta orbiter constantly complimenting them.
In their mind if you orbit they think you are boring and aren't a challenge.
Literally the whole point of looksmaxxing is to make other females jealous when females are jealous they fight over men because it signifys high value.
You just gotta COLD APPROACH man!
you're drunk right now aren't you?
Because this girl is ''different'' and doesn't have beta orbiters right?
Nowadays every girl that's above 4/10 has thousands of insta followers. In order to get that many as a male you have to be model tier or heavy status which is rare.
I can show you plenty of girls who don't even have reached 150 followers.
Some girls are different and most normies don't go near her because she lowers status if you are seen with her.
What are you OP, 14?
Why do baseball caps look stupid on some people?

Pesky allergies – itchy and watery eyes, sneezing, fatigue – can completely ruin your day, week or month. Seasonal allergies affect 1 in 5 people; the numerous allergens in the air can penetrate the body’s defenses, triggering an overactive immune response.
An allergic reaction occurs when your immune system reacts to a foreign substance – ragweed, pollen, pet hair, etc. – that doesn’t typically cause a response in the majority of the population. The response by your immune system is to produce antibodies that target the foreign invader and mark it for destruction by your immune system. Unfortunately, adverse symptoms like stuffed-up sinuses, itchy eyes and fatigue also occur in conjunction with the immune response. This leaves you tired, struggling to focus and constantly rubbing your eyes or blowing your nose.
Seasonal allergies like itchy and watery eyes can’t be cured, but you can relieve symptoms with natural treatments.
While you can’t cure seasonal allergies, there are a number of conventional and more natural approaches to addressing the symptoms and the root cause. Before we look at your options this fall, let’s take a closer look at the most common (and not so common) symptoms of allergy, along with the worst offenders that trigger these reactions.
What causes these symptoms and the over-activation of your immune system? Here is a short list of the worst allergy offenders.
Ragweed is the most common allergen in the fall. If you struggle with spring allergies, there is a 75% chance you’ll also have reactions to ragweed in the fall. Ragweed begins to release its pollen in late summer, and the symptoms of watery and itchy eyes, runny nose, sneezing, coughing and dark circles under the eyes typically start in September and continue on until the end of October. Think you’re in the clear because ragweed is not in your area? Think again. Ragweed can travel hundreds of miles in the air and if you react to it, you may also suffer from food allergies to bananas, melon, cucumbers, zucchini, and sunflower seeds.
Mold is another major allergy trigger. Damp basements and bathrooms, as well as the damp ground as the leaves change colors and tumble to the ground, are perfect breeding grounds for mold. The return to school for kids can also trigger seasonal allergies, as schools can often be damp with mold present.
Dust mites are most common during the hot summer months, but once you kick up the heating in your house as summer turns to fall, the dust mites will begin to circulate through your house. They can trigger similar symptoms to mold and ragweed above.
Dust mites start to circulate when you turn on the heat in the fall, triggering allergic reactions for some.
If you suffer from allergies and visit your doctor, they’ll typically diagnose you based on your symptom presentation, most commonly watery eyes and runny nose. If your doctor suspects multiple or severe allergies, they’ll likely send you to a dermatologist for skin-allergy testing.
This type of “skin-scratch” allergy testing is classified as an IgA (or “immediate”) immune reaction, and the doctor will typically place a series of allergens on your skin to determine which elicit a response. This type of allergy is different than a classic food allergy or IgG reaction, which is “delayed” and more subtle, taking hours or several days to elicit symptoms (such as fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, dark circles under the eyes, etc.).
The standard medical treatments for seasonal allergies are steroid nasal sprays to cool inflammation in the nasal cavity, antihistamines to reduce sneezing and itching, and decongestants to dry up mucous. Unfortunately, none of these therapies targets the “root cause” of the immune system glitch, but rather suppresses its expression (i.e., the symptoms).
Therefore, these can be effective treatments in the short-term – so you can get through your day, power through meetings and deadlines, or make it through your CrossFit workout or 5k run. However, in the long run, they’re not the answer. Adding in more natural support can enhance the effectiveness of these conventional treatments and often reduce the dose you need to get through your day. Let’s take a closer look at some great options.
The protein in cow’s milk and gluten can leave your immune system in a state of hyperactivity, leading to the worsening of seasonal allergies (1). They can also create more phlegm in your mucous membranes, which can worsen your runny nose, congestion and post-nasal drip. Steer clear of dairy if you’re struggling with allergies.
Quercetin is a bioflavonoid and potent natural anti-histamine (2). It’s also a potent anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory, which means it can get to the root of your allergies by calming your overactive immune system and cooling unwanted inflammation (3).
The best Paleo-friendly food sources of quercetin include veggies and fruits (such as raw red onions and apples), followed by raw asparagus, peppers, tomatoes and leafy greens. Unfortunately, if you suffer from allergies, the 10-50mg of quercetin you might get from foods is likely not potent enough to curb allergies. Consider supplementing with 500mg 2-3x per day for 2-4 weeks, or consult with your local naturopath or functional doctor.
The support you need to curb your allergy symptoms may just come from the “pollinators” themselves. A recent study found that regular honey-eaters had markedly reduced allergy symptoms compared to those who abstained (4). Honey has incredible antimicrobial properties and if you source local honey, you’ll have the added advantage of fighting off your nearest allergens. Add it to your tea, mix it into warm water, or include it when making smoothies or shakes.
Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) has been used for centuries as a medicinal plant, and used commonly in medieval Europe to treat joint pain. The fine hairs of stinging nettle contain chemicals that irritate the skin when they come into contact; ironically, however, they can also act as agents to reduce inflammation in the body (acting much like quercetin as a natural antihistamine) (5).
Stinging nettle tea can reduce inflammation in the body, easing allergy symptoms.
Try drinking 2-4 cups of stinging nettle tea daily during allergy season (note: it’s also a mild diuretic, so drink a glass of water between each cup of tea) or add a supplement during an acute allergy attack. Go Paleo and cook the leaves, adding them to your greens with dinner (i.e., like spinach) or into your morning smoothie. If your allergies trigger joint pain, they could also be applied topically to the area.
Almost all cultures across the globe have ancestral recipes that use the broth from cooked beef, chicken or fish bones to support health and fight off colds and flu as the seasons change. Bone broth soup can also help support seasonal allergies by keeping mucous membranes in the nose and throat clear of mucous and providing key amino acids like glutamine to support a healthy immune response.
Eucalyptus is a wonderful essential oil that has antimicrobial properties (6). To help cool your overactive immune system and fight off allergy symptoms, try a warm steam inhalation. Start by placing 3-4 drops of eucalyptus essential oil in a bowl, then pour about two cups of boiling water into the bowl. Place your face over the bowl (at a small distance so you don’t burn yourself) and a towel over your head… now breathe through your nose for 8-10 minutes and you’re all set! This is a great regular practice to get into to fight off allergies (as well as colds and flu) through the fall and winter seasons.
Clogged sinuses and mucous-filled lungs are the uncomfortable norm in allergy season for seasonal sufferers. Another essential oil, peppermint, has been shown to be an effective anti-spasmodic to relieve chronic coughing and respiratory congestion due to allergies (7). Peppermint oil can be diffused through the house or your bedroom at night to help ameliorate symptoms (i.e., 4-5 drops).
Fall allergy season is here; limit the foods that can worsen your allergic reaction (i.e., dairy and gluten), increase your intake of anti-inflammatory and anti-histamine nutrients (quercetin, stinging nettles, and raw honey), and reduce congestion and immune reaction with a warm eucalyptus nasal douche. These simple tips can help keep you and your health on track this fall.

When Kelly calls, you might want to hang up.
A week and a half ago, my 92-year-old father received a call from his eldest granddaughter. “Hi Grandpa, how are you feeling?” she asked. He responded that he was doing well, and that his most recent doctor appointments had gone as expected. “Was there any new news after your last hospitalization?” she went on to inquire. “No, it is the same situation, but look, I am 92 years old, so these things are to be expected. How are you doing?” Then the conversation shifted.
She shared that she had been arrested for speeding, and that while the police were willing to release her, she needed money to pay the ticket before they would do so. “I’m really in trouble, Grandpa. Can you help me out? I need $750 sent right away.” Having been well prepped in telephone security and scams by his daughter (me!), he then asked “Kelly, what authorities pulled you over?” She shared that she was in Iowa and that a local constabulary had her in their offices. He immediately hung up. He has no granddaughter named Kelly.
It comes as no surprise that scam phone calls are on the rise and scammers are becoming even more savvy in their attempts. From spoofed calls broadcasting inaccurate caller ID information and vague but believable discussions with your eldest granddaughter, or the “IRS,” there is big money to be made and the scammers are all vying to be first in line. Yet, while scammers can certainly be a threat to your family, their impact on your personal life pales in comparison to the impact they can have on your enterprise telecom.
According to the Communications Fraud Control Association (CFCA) in their 2017 survey of telecom fraud loss, organizations and carriers were hit with losses of $29.2 billion in 2017. Interestingly enough, this represents an almost 25% decrease from 2015, but it doesn’t mean the situation is improving. It simply means that, just like on the consumer side, enterprises and service providers are becoming more savvy at detecting and stopping some incidences.
One of the leading causes of telecom fraud at the enterprise level is PBX hacking and toll fraud. Representing greater than 13% of the reported 2017 losses, it isn’t a new scam by any means, but it does point to a very significant issue: Security of the enterprise phone system is still not a big enough priority inside the enterprise. In fact, the simplest of fixes are still often overlooked.
Yes, the bulk of PBX hacking still occurs the old-fashioned way. Hackers deploy scripts that look for open ports on your telecom system. Once found, they deploy standard passwords (you know, those “default passwords” or generic ones that are easy to crack?), and then control the traffic passing through the system. And it’s not just legacy PBX systems that are being compromised; IP systems are just as easily targeted. The takeover script then routes calls to premium services or uses the system to provide extensive toll calling to continue the fraud. The fix? Close the ports and change the passwords. Simple enough, yet many organizations fail to do so.
An area where organizations are focusing but feel like they are swimming upstream, is the marked increase in robocalls. According to the Washington Post, the number of robocalls in America reached the 26.3 billion mark in 2018, and these robocalls are estimated to account for 50% of all calls received in 2019. The result on the receiving end? An unanswered phone. On the surface, this seems like a “so what” moment, correct? Not necessarily, because many large enterprises, including medical providers and banks, use outbound auto-dialing protocols, and now their calls go unanswered as well.
Unlike PBX hacking’s simpler fixes, robocalling fixes are much more complex -- so much so that the FCC and carriers have established a technical protocol – SHAKEN/STIR – to attempt to address it. Using a digital certificate-based public key cryptography to provide call authentication, SHAKEN (Secure Handling of Asserted information using tokens) and STIR (Secure Telephony Identify Revisited) protocols are the strongest shot across the bow of robocalling spammers that the FCC and the industry have taken to date; hope is high that the carriers – through SHAKEN/STIR -- will be able to stem the robotide.
Often launched through a bot attack that tests login credentials (again attempting those common, simple passwords) to look for ways to gain control of accounts to order devices and costly services, these scammers look a lot like the credit card fraudsters of five years ago. Thankfully, the carriers have taken notice of those financial protections put in place to stem the credit card fraud tide, and have begun to deploy behavioral analytics and device intelligence in the form of digital identity-based verification to detect and deter this seemingly easy target (ThreatMetrix, 2018).
These three fraud threats – PBX hacking, robocalling, and subscription fraud – account for $12 billion in fraud losses according to the CFCA. That’s a pretty hefty portion of the $29.2 billion in estimated losses for 2017. But the solution to each of the three has something in common: The fix must come from within.
Just like that simple question asked by my father -- “Kelly, what authorities pulled you over?” -- the key will be to quickly identify the source, then terminate the scammer’s access. First and foremost, ensure that your passwords are changed. That’s a “duh” statement to be sure, but don’t be surprised if you find that it hasn’t been changed. Simply change it.
Additionally, take the time to learn about the SHAKEN/STIR protocols. Demand that your own carriers adopt this authentication protocol and adopt it quickly. Ask your mobile and landline carriers which protocols they have in place to digitally identify fraudulent orders placed on your behalf. Put SLAs around it in your contracts.
Finally, if my “niece” Kelly calls, hang up.

when kelly calls, you might want to hang up.
a week and a half ago, my 92-year-old father received a call from his eldest granddaughter. “hi grandpa, how are you feeling?” she asked. he responded that he was doing well, and that his most recent doctor appointments had gone as expected. “was there any new news after your last hospitalization?” she went on to inquire. “no, it is the same situation, but look, i am 92 years old, so these things are to be expected. how are you doing?” then the conversation shifted.
she shared that she had been arrested for speeding, and that while the police were willing to release her, she needed money to pay the ticket before they would do so. “i’m really in trouble, grandpa. can you help me out? i need $750 sent right away.” having been well prepped in telephone security and scams by his daughter (me!), he then asked “kelly, what authorities pulled you over?” she shared that she was in iowa and that a local constabulary had her in their offices. he immediately hung up. he has no granddaughter named kelly.
it comes as no surprise that scam phone calls are on the rise and scammers are becoming even more savvy in their attempts. from spoofed calls broadcasting inaccurate caller id information and vague but believable discussions with your eldest granddaughter, or the “irs,” there is big money to be made and the scammers are all vying to be first in line. yet, while scammers can certainly be a threat to your family, their impact on your personal life pales in comparison to the impact they can have on your enterprise telecom.
according to the communications fraud control association (cfca) in their 2017 survey of telecom fraud loss, organizations and carriers were hit with losses of $29.2 billion in 2017. interestingly enough, this represents an almost 25% decrease from 2015, but it doesn’t mean the situation is improving. it simply means that, just like on the consumer side, enterprises and service providers are becoming more savvy at detecting and stopping some incidences.
one of the leading causes of telecom fraud at the enterprise level is pbx hacking and toll fraud. representing greater than 13% of the reported 2017 losses, it isn’t a new scam by any means, but it does point to a very significant issue: security of the enterprise phone system is still not a big enough priority inside the enterprise. in fact, the simplest of fixes are still often overlooked.
