Subject: [IAJGS Leadership] Discovering if your personal data has been exposed
Dear IAJGS Leaders,
(IMPORTANT: the link to the PDF of articles has changed. See below for details.)
This month’s Practicing Safe Computing article is "Discovering If You Have Been pwned". We regularly hear about breaches exposing personal data. The free website discussed in this article may let you know if your data has been exposed along with the specific breach in which this may have occurred. If you find that a password that you use has been exposed, you would be wise to immediately change it.
The article, the 50th in this series, has been published in the January 2020 issue of "Venturing into Our Past", the Newsletter of the Jewish Genealogical Society of the Conejo Valley and Ventura County (JGSCV). Current and prior newsletters are freely available at the Society's website, http://www.jgscv.org/
All Practicing Safe Computing articles published to date are available in a single PDF which includes an index. This resource is freely accessible using the following link: https://tinyurl.com/SafeComputingArticles (IMPORTANT: Please update the link shown on your site if your site continues to use the old link, without the word,"Safe")
We will continue to update this resource with monthly articles. Consider placing a link to it on your society's web site or otherwise sharing it with your members as an ongoing free resource, reminding them when new articles are available.
If you have any questions or suggestions for future articles, please contact me.
