1. "I've been hacked/infected" class videos now available
About 50 people turned out for DCN's "My Account Has Been Hacked/Infected: What Do I Do Now?" class in mid-June. If you missed it, or want to revisit the useful information presented by the panelists, watch these free videos posted on YouTube:

• Part 1 by Rob Nickerson, owner, Omsoft Technologies, and a DCN board member, youtu.be/mTAkU3QP3iM
• Part 2 by Jamie Morton, owner, Davis Computer Doctor, youtu.be/xubNAH26-_M
• Part 3 by Bob Ono, Former IT security coordinator, UC Davis, youtu.be/tvN69xIxG9Q

We thank Morton, Ono, and Nickerson for volunteering their time and expertise!

We'll offer additional free classes this fall; look for updates in the next edition of this newsletter.

3. It's not spam, it's just no longer needed
Please help us spread the word to your email list members: When they want to exit your list (often because their child has graduated), ask them to unsubscribe, and not to mark messages from the list as spam. Labeling messages as spam will disrupt the distribution of your emails to the people who still want to receive them.

To unsubscribe from any list that uses DCN tools, look at the bottom of messages you receive from the list. There you should find instructions on unsubscribing, or on how to find a "listinfo" page from which you may unsubscribe. If you can't find that information, visit http://mailman.dcn.org/listinfo and look for the name of your list. Brief instructions at the top of this listinfo page will tell you how to unsubscribe.

4. Is a website down? Ask here
When you can't get access to a website and wonder if the problem is theirs or yours, this free resource can help. Type in the address of the website you're wondering about – the title says it all: www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com.
