For those of you who weren't up at 6am on Saturday to hear it, Calico UK featured on the Business Scotland report on BBC Radio Scotland, along with other Cromarty based businesses - The Royal Hotel, Cromarty, The Emporium & Udale Farm.

Calico UK would like to introduce a new member to it's team in Cromarty. Peter Urry, 18, from Killen has started with us on a part time basis as a System Support Administrator. Peter first came to Calico when he was looking for a Work Experience placement for his studies at Fortrose Academy. Since then he's also had a short summer placement with us. Now that he's studying Engineering Systems at the University of the Highland and Islands it's kept him in the area and made him available to have regular work with us here.

Calico UK and Plexus Media will be exhibiting at the Highland Spotlight exhibition on 12th September 2012. You'll find us at stall A5 at Eden Court Theatre.

A recent survey revealed that the average Brit has 26 online accounts, but only uses five different passwords to maintain all if these accounts. The same survey showed that one in 25 uses a single password for all accounts on the web. Two thirds of those surveyed said that they had unused profiles (including old social network profiles, email addresses and shopping accounts) that still held up-to-date personal and financial information. Using the same password for more than one profile increases the risk of other profiles being compromised and ultimately to the user being a victim of identity theft. Last.fm, eHarmony, LinkedIn and Yahoo!Voices have all had password security breaches recently with hundreds of thousands of login details being stolen. Microsoft estimates that 20% of the passwords leaked on to lists of compromised login credentials also matched the details on Microsoft accounts, because of the reuse of passwords.
