Our guest speaker today was Ken Fanger. Ken wrote the book, Relax: A Guide to True Cyber Security. He gave a great talk on the perils we all face when using technology in our business and personal lives. When we suspect we have been compromised, follow these three basic steps. 1. Relax, 2. Evaluate, 3. Act.

If you do feel you have been hacked, don’t be embarrassed and keep it to yourself. Report it to your IT department. If caught quickly, the damage can be minimized. He also related several stories of the many scams out there today. Be cautious, if something doesn't feel right, take time to investigate. Call the alleged company to verify, but don’t call the number in the email, call the number on their website.

 

Andrew introduced a couple from the Ukraine who proposed a fundraising opportunity for the club which would also benefit the people of Ukraine. It will be discussed at our Board meeting November 30^th.
