The contestants who answered successfully and avoided the wipeouts were deemed the champions.
The game show, Password, first aired in 1961. It might be fun using celebrity’s clues to guess their passwords, but do you really want strangers guessing YOUR password?

Quick Tip: Stop. Think. Protect.
Why? If you’re using any kind of cloud application (and these days, who isn’t?), you are right to be concerned about data privacy and security.

A favorite, long-standing cast member, Paul Lynde, occupied the coveted center square for a total of 742 episodes from 1966-1979. Lynde’s witty, wisecracking one-liners made him one of the game show’s favorite and funniest cast members.
Question: How do Property Managers manage technology?
Answer: They don’t. They leave it to IT Radix.
Come on, you knew that was the answer! We recently welcomed another property management client to the growing list of happy IT Radix clients.
Similar to life, game shows allow you to risk something in order to reap a potential gain. However, unlike life, in game shows, the contestant is not risking their business.

Quick Tip: Check before you use personal devices to access company data.
You’re a hard worker who likes to check email and get a few things done after hours--all good! But here’s something you might not know: you should never access company data, file servers or applications through personal devices and home PCs that are not properly monitored and maintained.
