Time to Update those Passwords

password infographic

the staff of the Ridgewood blog, we know we are a day late !

Ridgewood NJ, The first Thursday in May is World Password Day, which was originally created by Intel in 2013 as a global effort to address the critical need for strong, unique passwords and emphasize the importance of this first line of defense in securing information, networks, servers, devices, accounts, databases, files, and more against cyberattacks. This day also serves as a reminder to update and organize all recent passwords. Now more than ever before, many users are connected to the internet and access multiple accounts and services for business, including email, applications, and vendor websites. Users also have access to multiple personal accounts, such as email, social media, online banking, bill payment, utilities, healthcare, shopping, entertainment, food delivery, dating apps, and more. The increased use of online accounts and services, combined with users engaging in risky password management practices, puts both themselves and employers at risk of account compromise and data breaches. Therefore, it is important to practice good password hygiene to protect accounts and data, not just on World Password Day, but year-round.

I don’t know if you have seen any of my writings about eliminating our EMT’s in favor of hiring 2 more firemen—high pay, benefits, will they drive the EMT’s truck or will you have to buy something new for them? etc. etc.)I just wrote a new one in Facebook, but I, and many others, can’t see why you would want to take away our wonderful EMT’s—Bill and I have had MUCH experience with them the last few years—for more firemen.  The whole crew always arrives at our house—and the EMT’s are THE FIRST RESPONDERS.  the firemen sit in their truck, the policemen wander around  (they do come in our house occasionally because they know us but they DO NOT interfere with the EMT’s).
