Staying Safe Online

October is Cyber Security Month and it is a good time to highlight how you can stay safe online.

In 2022 2.1 million malicious cyber campaigns were reported and it’s really important than ever to try and protect yourself online.

There are numerous types of cyber-attacks, from Denial-of-service (DoS), which is when an attacker aims to overwhelm a computer, network, or service with the goal of making it unavailable to users, to code injection, when an attacker introduces malicious code into an application. These attacks impact people and businesses every day. The most common cyber attacks are Phishing, Malware and Password Cracking and here are some ways you can project yourself.

Phishing is one of the most common forms of cyber-attack. It involves an attacker trying to trick you into providing them with sensitive information, clicking on a link which downloads malware onto your device, or accessing a fake website where they can steal your credentials.

To avoid falling victim to these attacks, it’s important to be aware of what to look out for. Phishing is most often done via email and can use the appearance of a legitimate organisation or an urgent deadline to pressure you into doing what they ask.

If an email or a social post looks too good to be true or suspicious don't click on it. If you received an email click on the sender email address as it will usually not be an official email address. Think before you click.

Malware is an umbrella term for types of malicious software that attackers can use to steal your data and damage or take control of your devices. Some common examples of malware include viruses, ransomware, and Trojan horses. Examples you may not have come across as frequently include spyware, ads, and worms.

Make sure you use up-to-date antivirus and anti-malware programmes on your home and work devices. Create regular backups of your data and install security updates as soon as they become available.

Passwords are one of the most straightforward ways to protect our information. Unfortunately, attackers can use numerous methods to discover passwords and weak ones can be cracked in seconds.

To make sure you’re keeping your accounts secure creating longer, more unusual passwords using three random words. These should avoid common passwords that can be easily guessed (such as ‘ABC123’ or ‘password’), significant dates, or family and pet names, as much of this information can be found on your social media profile.

You should also avoid using the same password across multiple accounts, so that if one is compromised, it doesn’t allow attackers to access all your information.

Think before you click and if something feels too good to be true trust your instincts and check with someone or even the retailer directly.


Purefibre to sponsor Slough Cricket Club

We are delighted to be sponsoring Slough Cricket Club for another year. We are club sponsor and you will see our logo on the kits as well as banners around the ground.

Founded in 1849, Slough Cricket Club (SCC) was, and still is, one of the leading cricket clubs in Berkshire with three full sized cricket grounds, a club house with a bar (including food service on weekends), and five net facilities for members to practice in. They are associated with all major cricketing bodies in the country and region namely: ECB (England & Wales Cricket Board), BCF (Berkshire Cricket Foundation), BCB (Bucks Cricket Board), HCPCL (Home Counties Premier Cricket League), TVCL (Thames Valley Cricket League) and Slough Council.

SCC offers cricket playing opportunities to all ages: from Under 5 to Seniors and has been working hard in the disability cricket section. Thanks to the efforts of many resilient and dedicated members, they have a growing number of women’s and girl’s cricket teams to promote young girls and women across Slough and the neighbouring towns to get involved and get active in many new opportunities to play sports at highly subsidised membership. Listed below is the scale of teams and members they are serving in the community:

  • Team 1 represents Home Counties Premier division and 8 senior teams representing various divisions in Thames Valley Cricket League providing 100+ senior members with the opportunity to play.
  • 20 colt teams (250+ members) representing youth and women’s sections
  • Promoting All Stars Cricket, Dynamos Cricket and disability cricket in partnership with local cricketing bodies
  • Hosting minor counties matches from Berkshire and Buckinghamshire
  • Hosting group events for cricket awareness and bring communities together like Christmas, BBQ parties, and presentation evenings

Our sponsorship plays an integral role in supporting the development of the club and supporting the wider community of Slough.
