Today is the last day of school for my gang here in the Dallas area and many across the country.
YAAAAA for many and Oh Boy for many….depending on your camp.
While today marks great happiness for the future of our country it also marks an important reminder.
Keep Your Electronic Guard Up
As fun fades and even turns to boredom under certain roof tops, we find electronic issues rise during this time of the year. Usually not malicious, but certainly annoying. Here are a couple of reminders:
- Change that weak password if you have not already
- Share your electronic information carefully
- Keep tabs of your emails, especially if you have a family shared device
BREAK IN UPDATE
In a “You Cannot Make this Up Moment” I just got off the phone with the State Workforce Commission as a fraudulent claim was being made. According to our state commission a sudden increase in claims has occurred over the last two weeks. My suspicion is this is related to the Holiday card swipe troubles. No matter the source…keep your guards up and follow up on any suspicious notices you may receive.
That’s it….just a gentle reminder, and of course it is not any of OUR kids…haha
Now, go have fun with those kids, it’s one of their favorite days of the year, being there will make it even more special, even if they do not acknowledge it … Grandparents too!! And its a Friday! Enj0y your weekend.
