We stay up with not only technology, but with what is what in social networking. I feel it is important as that is how most people are connecting with clients and prospects. Well, Karl Logue A good friend of mine that is a big wig over at CMIT Solutions sent me one of their articles about a Facebook worm, so I wanted to pass the good information along to you guys as well.

“In the computer security industry, it’s a well-known fact that hackers and malware makers tend to go wherever the users go. That means that these days they go to social networking sites like Facebook: in the addition to high traffic, social networking sites offer up a treasure trove of personal information that hackers are constantly looking for new ways to unlock. According to a recent news report, Facebook dealt with five different security threats in the space of a week. One of the most serious threats is the Koobface worm, which surfaced in two major attacks last year and is now back for more. 

Once downloaded, the worm searches for cookies left on the user’s machine by social networks. It uses these cookies to connect to the site and find the user’s friends, and then sends them a message telling them to download a video.  People often click the link to the video because they tend to trust their friends and are too tempted by the promise of entertainment to resist. Of course, what they end up downloading isn’t a video at all — it’s Koobface. In addition to the Koobface worm, Facebook is also battling four new applications that attempt to get users to reveal their usernames and passwords. Facebook now has over 175 million users, and more people sign up every day to connect to friends, family, and work colleagues. If you’re one of them (and you probably are), just remember that the same good habits you learned for surfing the Web and handling email apply when you’re on Facebook as well. Keep your security software updated, don’t download unnecessary applications or plugins, and don’t ever trust a suspicious link.

Still worried about viruses, worms, spyware, and other Internet threats? CMIT Solutions can help. Our Marathon service automatically runs regular system scans and anti-virus updates.”

What we do here at Revolution Web Studios which has been very beneficial to business owners that we work which starts with our production system and how we nail every detail down affectively and efficiently while keeping budget in mind.

Below is some information that I have provided to detail how we work and what we do. Give us a call at (877) 814 -5422 for a quote on what we can do for your business.

Design Structure

The first thing we do is develop the main structure of the website to fit your business. A structure that will make it easy for your customers and employees to use and find the information or product they need. We have a company policy that we put into every website we develop and that is KISS (Keep It Simple Simon). The less complicated the website is to use the more business you will do, that’s just common sense that we follow here at Revolution Web Studios. We have over 40 thousand design structures that you can look through to see and get an idea of how you want your navigation and site structure set up. We are not a template company we just use these design structures to help clients visualize what their website can look like. We can use a combination of these from different structures as well. http://www.revolutionwebstudios.com//website-design-options.html

Custom Graphics

The Second things we do is customize all the graphics for your website to give the kind of impression that you want your customers to have when they come into your website. We take your vision and passion mixed with the kind of impression you want your company to give off on the web and create a powerful graphical presence for your website. Graphics that cause people to take action, action in buying, action in contacting you, etc…

CMS putting YOU in control!

Then what we do with every website Revolution Web Studios builds is add a Content Management System. This is what has made us popular and has been the deciding factor in business owners and companies going with us to develop their website solution for their businesses. Our Content Management System will allow you to update each page on your website very easily with our custom online website editor. As long as you or whoever you put in charge of updated information on your site knows how to POINT, TYPE, and CLICK you have it made. We provide this as away to make it easy for any business to be able to update, edit, or change their website anytime. Why spend hundreds or thousands of precious company funds to a web master to do updates for a business they do not have passion for. Now you will have the control and power with Revolution Web Studios supporting you. We do free training and support for you and your staff.
