10 signs you're not in control of IT

·        It's 9pm, you're working late on a proposal and the printer thats been on the blink all week stops working again...
·        You want to update your website urgently and realise that the web company who developed it added a password and can't (?) tell you what it is so they’ll have to do it for you...
·        A new member of staff starts work and you don't have the password to add a new user to your system and your IT guy is out of town until the end of the week...
·        Your server breaks down and you find out the backup hasn't been working for weeks...
·        You lose your iPhone and don't know how to wipe out the personal data it contains and restore it to your replacement phone...
·        Your email address is blocked for spam and you've no idea how it happened, or what to do...
·        Your laptop slows to a crawl everytime you connect to the internet...
·        You think your data is safe because you have a firewall installed...
·        You didn't know that everytime you check your email your login and password are transmitted over the internet in clear to anyone with simple tools without special security settings...
·        Your smartphone prompts you to download the latest update and stops working half way through...
