With the first week of October behind us, it's great to reflect on all the important conversations happening. Since it's Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we're getting a ton of great tips, information, and resources to raise awareness! I've been doing my part, and wanted to recap this week's focus on the four areas of importance this year:
Thank you all for the great conversations, thoughts, and sharing. This next week will continue cybersecurity - getting into more details about older devices, phishing by text, password managers, and more!
The Federal Trade Commission reported over $500 million in losses to romance scams in 2021, nearly doubling the total from 2020. In addition, people reported paying romance scammers most often with gift cards than any other payment method. In 2021, scammers also requested payment with cryptocurrency, adding more expenses for the victims.
Romance scammers tend to target lonely or older people because they are typically most likely to be responsive to a new relationship, as well as more likely to have money saved. Complicating the situation is the isolation caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Scammers are meticulous with their schemes to con you into believing their interest is genuine. This means they will spend enough time talking to you in order for them to compile a story that will work for your individual situation. While the details may change, there are some common threads that will be prevalent throughout their stories.
Never give out your banking information to ANYONE, especially someone you meet online. Some scammers are very direct and will ask for account numbers, social security numbers, and even online banking credentials. If someone asks for this information, cut all contact with that person immediately. If you realize that this person has obtained your personal information, call your bank immediately and inform them that your account has been compromised.
If you conclude that you are being scammed, report it to the Federal Trade Commission and the site or app where you met the scammer. If you already sent money, notify the company or bank where the money was withdrawn. They will assist you with the process and possibly recoup some, if not all, of your money.
I am familiar with Linux distros and am currently getting familiar with Python. Basically, my idea was to find a way to develop an application/ interface or script in which I could protect the ports on the cheaper switches, kind of like how you can with managed switches. Things like shutting down specific ports, applying restraints, or setting limitations.
However, unmanaged switches for the most part will not be able to do what you are looking for. Unmanaged switches are very bare bones, and from my experience you cannot apply any configuration changes to them, because they are unmanageable/dumb. They are just used to connect network devices together on the same flat network no more than that really.
Based off what you posted; if you can find a way to somehow enable a type of port security on an unmanaged switch that would be sweet project. However, if that is possible, it is going to be somehow figured out outside of the built in capabilities of the unmanaged switch alone.
To put it bluntly, if you want managed features, get a managed switch. You can get half-decent used cisco gear fairly cheaply on the secondhand market that would allow you to do this without much of an investment.
I'm new to Airbnb and hosting my 3rd group of guests. My home only allows for 4 people, clearly stated on my listing. When the guests checked in, they brought 5 people. I told them the 5th person could not stay. They said, OK he will go somewhere else to stay. Later that same evening, all 5 left for dinner as recorded on my RIng at the front door. After dinner, they came back and one of the guests obviously blocked the Ring by standing in front of it so that, I presume, they could sneak the extra guest in. I went over there today to make sure everything was ok for them, and I could not see the extra guest, but the doors to both bedrooms were closed and I didn't demand to search the house! LOL
What should I do? They clearly violated my house rule to not block the security camera. Accident? I think not. But I can't prove any of it. If they block it again tonight after they come back from dinner, should I say something? Suggestions, please!
I am assuming your Ring is a doorbell Ring? You could always look into getting a camera to place higher on the house so it can not be covered, for future guests. Since doorbells are easy to stand in front of and block.
@Judy508 These are interesting times...now the crappy underbelly of guestdom already knows its way around the newfangled surveilance apps, so either you have to keep them hard to spot (and hard to jam on the transmission) or come up with an altogether different strategy.
At that point, all your options were bad ones. You could refuse entry to the entire group, but then you're stuck with a financial loss and cancellation penalties. You could offer an exception under duress, but then deal with the stress and damage potential of a larger group than your furnishings are intended for. You could turn a blind eye and wait until you see the place at checkout, but then get stuck with the fallout of letting dodgy guests think they can get away with anything, on top of the minimal odds of getting adequate compensation for any damage they've caused.
On the balance of things, I find outright refusing entry to be the safest, despite being the harshest in the short term. For one thing, you quickly see the quality of people you're dealing with when they're quick to act like they'll just throw friend number 5 under the bus; these don't tend to be people you want having keys to your property. But I can also empathize with the difficulty of being a single person confronting a group of 5 angry entitled douchebags (I'd especially hate to think of it in America where any idiot can have a gun).
If that's the route you decide to take, the procedure would be to contrive a time-buying excuse at the door ("I'll need a little extra time to work out how to accommodate a group of your size; I'll call you as soon as I'm ready") . Jot off a quick message in Airbnb messenger confirming that a larger party than booked has arrived. Initiate your report to Airbnb that the group that arrived has exceeded your capacity and you can't accommodate them, and lubricate the process toward a penalty-free cancellation under the pretext that the group booked your property in error. And make it clear that there is no accommodation on your property until you have evidence that the extra person or people have booked elsewhere.
It's unlikely that you'll get the customer service you deserve through all this, but at every step in the process it's important to keep this as your guiding principle: It's your property. You're the boss. Airbnb is just a service that you use - and one of many.

Why not install a dummy camera in a very prominent high position facing the front door which is out of their reach, Clearly identify this one in your listing to divert forth coming guests attention away from the doorbell Ring camera.
Airbnb has to do something about guests showing up with undeclared people. It is definitely out of host's control! The death is more predictable than undeclared guests! You never know what particular guest will bring extra people as they will be sweet in messaging.
We are also new hosts and are trying to navigate our way through this very tricky (and guest-friendly) booking system. I mentioned in an earlier post this week how we had had guests who did not meet our minimum booking requirements (e.g. no government ID, no recommendations from other Airbnb hosts, etc.) were allowed to send us booking requests anyway. A couple of these were clearly groups of young people looking to party (one even said so), and after some of the horror stories we'd heard this past summer about crazy young people having trashed the places of friends we know who were hosting, we were not going to let them into our new place.
It was thus left to us to turn them down. I tried writing to Airbnb to explain, but of course, nobody reads those. And so we started off as new hosts with three acceptances and three refusals, which has us at a 50% acceptance rate.
So, I understand how you feel. If you cancel on them, this counts against you, regardless of your reasons. With them having blocked the camera, it would also be very, very hard to prove that they had sneaked the extra guest in. They may have violated your house rules, but if you had to try to prove this to Airbnb, then they would ask for evidence--which of course, you couldn't provide.
Given that, the best solution might be to relocate the camera where it can't be blocked or get a second one, if these options are possible for you. When we started hosting, our house manager, who is also a Superhost, strongly advised us not to let guests check in with a lockbox and to make sure that she would meet them when they check in and check out, despite the inconvenience. She explained that what you have just outlined here is exactly why we would need to do it that way. Again, I don't know if this is an option for you either, but it seems like you are going to have to come up with a new strategy to combat dishonest and sneaky guests.
You can 'get around' it but that requires resetting your booking settings and adding an extra 'unauthorised guest booking fee'. Plus, this might be over maximum permitted occupancy levels by government or insurance requirements etc... so there's extra responsibility added onto the host. In addition you need to have the capability of accepting say 10 guests when you only actually can accommodate 8.
