Subject: [IAJGS Leadership] "Your Password has Expired"

Dear IAJGS Leaders,

Most of us have gotten emails or text messages that our password has expired and that we must immediately update it or our access will be terminated. Such messages are typically bogus and rather an attempt to obtain our credentials for nefarious purposes. "Your Password has Expired" addresses this scam. It also provides another shout out to "have i been pwned?". I encourage you to take advantage of this valuable free site that can alert you to breaches that include you.

"Your Password has Expired" has been published in the November 2024 issue of "Venturing into Our Past", the Newsletter of the Jewish Genealogical Society of the Conejo Valley and Ventura County (JGSCV). All Practicing Safe Computing articles published to date are freely accessible at https://tinyurl.com/SafeComputingArticles. 

Also, check out, "JewishGen KehilaLinks" at https://jgscv.org/pdf/newsletters/Venturing_V20_N1.pdf#page=10. This article discusses this valuable resource. Some members of your society may be unaware of KehilaLInks, or may have not checked them in some time for their ancestral town. New towns are added regularly. One of the most recent is the KehilaLinks for Dubno, my ancestral town.

Best,

Hal
