Greetings!
Did anyone see where January went? Oh, wait, February is gone too! Well, we have certainly had an exciting couple of months. First the storm that made national news when it crippled our city. But then we were back in the news with headlines like, "Hey, didn't you learn from Atlanta?" when other major Southern cities were similarly crippled with the next storm (everybody in Atlanta stayed home) You know what else is in the news? Viruses and attacks. We highlighted the Target Breach last month. Well, that was followed by a series of DDoS Attacks (Distributed Denial of Service). In short, incoming traffic from possibly hundreds of thousands of sources flood it's targeted victim. It could be one machine or an entire network, and it makes that resource virtually unavailable. It brings traffic to a grinding halt. YES, that's what happened last month. The targets weren't just local companies either. They were major sources that support network traffic infrastructure... the Internet. You know how much we write about security? Well, even we couldn't see this coming or stop it. But, we could ask you about your security... like; what about your documents; your presentations? Sincerely,
Brian G. Wilson

Why Should I Open This Newsletter?
Because, It's News!
If you are anything like me, you receive scores of newsletters, most that you never get the chance to read. You may poke at the topics and make a mental note to go back to that article (which you never do), or just delete it when it arrives for fear of hurting someone's feelings if you unsubscribe. OR, you read and enjoy it. That's what you do with mine, right? RIGHT? So, what's the purpose of all of this correspondence anyway? According to Dictionary.com, a newsletter is 'a written report, usually issued periodically, prepared by or for a group... to present information..." Wikipedia says, "a newsletter is a regularly distributed publication that is generally about one main topic of interest to its subscribers." I like the point Wiki makes: topic of interest. What kinds of newsletters do you get? |

HIPAA Privacy - "Whatever", "Enough Already!"
But, Ummmm... What About Your Patients?
 Have you ever looked yourself up online, done a Google search just to see what's out there? Perhaps you have a side business, or have won some type of award. or you are President of your local PTA/PTO or Homeowner's Association. But, what if you had a breast reduction surgery, and you were a school counselor, and you discovered before and after pictures of yourself... on Google.
Yes, it really did happen. Now, let's just think of that. Your child is having issues at school. You meet with the teacher(s) and agree he or she may need the extra guidance. You even meet the counselor. You are semi-impressed, but is this the right fit for your child? So, you go home and look her up to check her credentials. And BAM! You find her breasts!
