Your data is at risk with Apple’s Forced Entry Breach. Now there’s a software fix!

Whats Happening?
Apple has issued an emergency iOS software version 14.8 to help mitigate the effects of Apple devices being able to be breached without any user action (known as a “Forced Entry Breach” or a “Zero Click Exploit”). This breach impacts every Apple device (iPhone, iPad, MAC and Apple watches).

Yikes.
Yes. An estimated 50,000 iPhones have been infected by this breach (called Pegasus) which is believed to have been initiated in the middle east to gain sensitive data.

The breach can be enacted without any action from the target, unlike most cyber-attacks where the user is tricked into downloading an attachment or clicking a link with embedded malware.

What can i do about it?
Immediately update your iOS software. iPhone users should update to the latest iOS version 14.8 by going to:

>General

>Software Update

>iOS 14.8

>Download and install.

Techcrunch states, “Pegasus gives its government customers near-complete access to a target’s device, including their personal data, photos, messages and location”

Hotspots are literally HOT! Verizon recalls Ellipsis Jetpacks for fire hazard

According to Verizon’s website: “Verizon is working with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to recall Ellipsis Jetpack mobile hotspot devices, including models MHS900L, MHS900LS and MHS900LPP…….it has been determined that the lithium-ion battery in the Ellipsis Jetpack devices can overheat, posing a fire and burn hazard.”

Verizon has recalled over 2.5 million hotspots due to battery overheating issues.

The batteries in these devices can overheat causing a burn and/or fire hazard. Verizon has sent two over the air (OTA) updates to these devices to assist in reducing the risks. Details about how to avoid overheating can be found here: https://www.verizon.com/about/news/statement-regarding-us-consumer-product-safety-commission-recall

Verizon is working to replace these devices to users at no cost.

Bill Police Launches New Website

We asked. You Answered. We Acted.

Recently, we used a great Market Research firm, Good Run Research (GRR), headquartered in our own Richmond, VA. GRR is led by strategic savant, Stacy Thompson who, with her team, interviewed participants to better understand the landscape and how Bill Police could rocket into the 2020s.

We also had the help of Wythe Ave Consulting with Stacy Buchanan and her team to help hone the messaging. Apparently, if your name is Stacy you are meant to be a marketer.

As a result, in 6 months time, Bill Police has revamped its website and its entire portal offering.

Check out our new look at billpolice.com

Bill Police Launches New Portal

We are excited to announce our new Bill Police Analytics portal! We have been honing our wireless analytics for some time and officially launched our new portal in first quarter 2021.

We have received great feedback from the launch and hope it provides users with easy access to a “one touch” experience that can provide lots of relative data at a glance.

You can get to a demo of the portal from our website at www.billpolice.com and click on the “Request a Demo” button.

And we are….still Protecting Your Wireless Rights….especially for Eric today.
