Brandon, MB, 19th Dec 2021, ZEXPRWIRE, With tax season rolling in, Cybercriminals are ready with new malware designed to trump QuickBooks users out of their secure data with email that is usually used to deliver the malware.
According to ThreatLocker’s CEO Danny Jenkins, hackers send a PowerShell command to extract the data; and the second is to use a Word document to deliver a link or macro to retrieve a file. “Once the executable or PowerShell command is running, it retrieves your most recently saved Quickbooks’ file location, points to your file share or local file, and proceeds to upload your file to the internet,” the report said.
To protect tax data, ThreatLocker recommended making sure the “everyone” group is not selected for QuickBooks permissions, it is highly recommended that access be limited to a single user. In QuickBooks, the administrator has the authority to create new users, assign permissions and passwords, and set company preferences in the program.
In addition, a strong password is crucial, needless to say, as it protects sensitive business data from unauthorized access. With QuickBooks’ stringent security measures, the password needs to be entered every time a company file is opened, and must be changed every ninety days. QuickBooks also requires a password for each data file, meaning a password would have to be set for each of the various company files the software hosts. These passwords must contain a combination of least seven characters, including one uppercase letter and a number.
A more complex password is required for files containing sensitive data such as social security numbers, credit card numbers and employers’ identification numbers, and only the administrator is authorized to change the password.
In the event of a lost or forgotten password, E-Tech recommends using the QuickBooks Password reset tool. Resetting the password requires users to confirm the latest version of a QuickBooks software version on the operating system and are then directed to fill out an online form, while Mac users are sent directly to technical support for assistance.
If the password reset does not work, the information entered would need to be verified, as well if the information entered matches with that in CAMPS.
If the issue persists, E-Tech’s password recovery service will recover or reset your password from all versions of QuickBooks Data files. In case of a forgotten Administrator password, the service can recover or reset the password from the data file so you can open the file as the Administrator. This service works with all versions of QuickBooks including QuickBooks for Mac, QuickBooks Enterprise, Pro, and Premier.
Founded in 2001, E-Tech is a leading file repair, data recovery, and data conversion services provider in the United States and Canada. The company works to stay up to date on the latest technology news, reviews, and more for their customers.

Brandon, MB, 19th Dec 2021, ZEXPRWIRE, To put it simply, QuickBooks Premier is best for nonprofit, manufacturing and wholesale, professional services, construction, or retail businesses with five or fewer users, QuickBooks Enterprise is best for small to medium-sized retailers, wholesalers, distributors, and manufacturers with advanced inventory needs while QuickBooks Accountant works best for bookkeepers and accountants that provide bookkeeping or payroll services to multiple businesses
The Enterprise version of QuickBooks is considered the most powerful of all QuickBooks products, scaling up the functionality provided by Premier by allowing up to 40 users which is accommodated in its Diamond version.
QuickBooks Enterprise comes in a general business edition plus the same five industry-specific editions as QuickBooks Premier. With all the features of Premier, Enterprise also offers the ability to track inventory at multiple locations and use bar codes, create advanced reports, pay employees with QuickBooks Enhanced Payroll,
Enterprose costs $1,275 for one user, $2,037 for two users, $2,547 for three users, $3,057 for four users and $3,566 for five users.
This has often burned a hole in the pocket of businesses who find the costs a little too steep, for services that could be provided with QuickBooks Pro or Premier. QuickBooks Repair Pro converts a QuickBooks Enterprise file to Pro or Premier in its entirety, and with zero loss to information during the conversion process. Data is accessed directly, hence there are no restrictions on what can and cannot be converted.

Berlin, Germany, 17 Dec 2021, ZEXPRWIRE, The rise of blockchain technology has opened the curtains for new opportunities, including decentralized finance (DeFi) applications governed by smart contracts. These protocols leverage decentralized networks and cutting-edge tech to bring innovative financial services to the masses.
By eliminating middlemen such as banks, DeFi projects bring lucrative earning opportunities and enable anyone to participate in traditional financial activities. These platforms provide for example, decentralized lending/borrowing access that benefits millions of unbanked folks worldwide.
Moreover, investors seeking huge returns find the DeFi sector very attractive, as it offers high-interest rate savings unmatched by traditional financial institutions.
Unfortunately, the colossal total volume locked (TVL) in DeFi has brought several security concerns. Users have lost billions of dollars to cybercriminals targeting various platforms, spooking potential investors looking to jump onto the DeFi bandwagon.
Part of the problem facing the fast-growing DeFi industry is that it lacks top-quality smart contract checks that could prevent cybercriminals from exploiting vulnerabilities on popular protocols.
As a result, cybercriminals have had great success targeting DeFi applications and siphoning billions in crypto funds to their private wallets.
A Look at Recent DeFi Hacks
DeFi gained traction in the summer of 2020, offering revolutionary lending products and huge returns but eliminating any involvement from intermediaries.
Since then, growth in the sector has taken place at lightning speed, with TVL in various protocols now surpassing $90B, per data from DeFiPulse. There are currently over 200 projects utilizing the blockchain and smart contracts to offer users unparalleled financial services.
However, success in this exciting and fast-moving sector has attracted bad actors looking to infiltrate DeFi code and siphon investor funds.
One of the most notable DeFi attacks dubbed the ‘biggest crypto heist‘ ever took place on November 19, 2021. Hackers exploited a loophole in Poly Network and stole $600M in digital assets.
More recently, in December of 2021, malicious actors struck again, targeting the popular DeFi protocol BadgerDAO. In this incident, hackers made off with over $120M in crypto, prompting Chainalysis to investigate the breach along with financial watchdogs from the US and Canada.
Unfortunately, these are not isolated smart contract breaches. As recently reported by CryptoSec, overall losses caused by DeFi exploits have amounted to $1.7 billion, with 75 protocols succumbing to the menacing threat of cybercrime.
Chainsulting Brings Excellent Security Solutions to DeFi
Chainsulting is a professional software development firm based in Germany that provides comprehensive distributed ledger technology (DLT) solutions. Some of their services include blockchain development, smart contract audits, and consulting.
One of the firm’s main goals is to develop tools and provide services to ensure every blockchain project is secure. They are determined to tackle the issue of continuous DeFi exploits that threatens to deter potential investors from putting their hard-earned cash into the blockchain and crypto economy.
So far, the lack of proper smart contract audits has seen multiple DeFi protocols fall victim to devastating hacks that have led to heavy losses. Per a report by blockchain tracing and security firm Ciphertrace, last year was overrun by numerous DeFi attacks that accounted for half of all the hacking incidents in the crypto world.
Chainsulting seeks to root out bugs and other vulnerabilities used by insidious cybercriminals to infiltrate DeFi applications. They have a proven track record of delivering customized security solutions with German technology that empower multiple DeFi and blockchain projects to maintain investor trust and gain a competitive advantage in the sector.
The firm conducts code audits for market-leading blockchains such as Hyperledger, Tezos, Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and EOS to mitigate risk and instill trust and transparency into the vibrant crypto community. They also review and secure the smart contracts of DAI, 1Inch, POA Network, Unicrypt, among numerous other top DeFi and crypto projects.
Chainsulting currently secures $100 billion in user funds locked in multiple DeFi protocols. The team behind the leading audit firm relies on their robust technical know-how in the blockchain sector to deliver top-notch smart contract audit solutions tailored to the clients’ evolving business needs.
The blockchain security provider brings the highest security standards to crypto and blockchain platforms, helping to foster growth and transparency within the fast-growing ecosystem.
The Chainsulting Smart Contract Audit Process
Chainsulting boasts over four years of experience in smart contract audit and has delivered reliable security solutions to more than 420 clients.
The company’s audit team composed of Germany’s top blockchain and digital assets experts leverages its domain-specific expertise to conduct smart contract audit tactics that differ from those deployed by other audit firms.
A code review by Chainsulting includes an Automated Vulnerability Test (HoneyBadger, MythX, Mythril, Oyente, Slither, Solhint) and thorough Manual Security Testing (SWC-Registry, Overflow, etc.). The auditing process also integrates a Gas Optimization and Coding Conventions Check, as well as thorough Function and Logic testing.
The blockchain security startup uses a real-time communication tool to connect with the project dev team and provide suggestions on how to remedy bugs and inefficiencies discovered during the audit process. The team also offers assistance to the token developers in applying the necessary fixes.
They then deliver a comprehensive report documenting the audit steps and recommendations. Finally, Chainsulting provides a Certificate of Compliance that reassures all DeFi users that the project is fully vetted and safe.
The leading blockchain auditor has done many notable audits for some of the most prominent crypto projects in existence. The team posts transparent audit results on their social media, GitHub, and Website, confirming that a given project’s code is fully secure and ready to go live.
Conclusion
Over the past few months, a spate of high-profile DeFi hacks has led some to refer to the young sector as the ‘Wild West’ of cryptocurrencies.
This year has seen some of the biggest crypto thefts in history. Increasingly sophisticated heists on dozens of top DeFi protocols highlight the need for project backers to adopt higher security standards to protect the integrity of the entire blockchain industry.
Chainsulting has introduced an intuitive smart contract auditing process that integrates elaborate steps to ensure 100% test coverage on all DeFi projects. This radical approach helps these decentralized protocols conquer the investors’ trust, propelling the nascent crypto space to greater heights.
