Taking the WebSpy out of the Web Module One feature on our roadmap is the ability to re-brand the WebSpy Vantage Web Module, so that when your employees/users hit the web module to view reports, they're greeted with your own company logo and branding. In the mean time, we want to share a way to re-brand the main elements in the Web Module by editing a few files and replacing a few images. |

Lessons Learned from a Hacked Twitter Account If you follow @WebSpy on Twitter, you would have received a very strange Direct Message (DM) from us back in November. Something along the lines of "rofl this you?" or "you're on this vid!" or "I found you on here!" Unfortunately, the WebSpy Twitter account fell victim to a phishing scam, and as a result sent phishing spam to all our Twitter followers. We are embarrassed by the incident and we apologize to all of our followers, especially the ones that clicked the link in the DM and were caught by the phishing scam themselves. |
