Yes I should eat more fruits and vegetables and a lot fewer éclairs, yes I should get more exercise and play more golf, and yes I should go to church and pray a liƩle more oŌen, but my overriding commitment for 2015 is to get really serious about my computer and internet security. February 10th 2:00 pm in the Town Hall Jim Wilgus, Chair of the Finance Committee, will present a report and there will be an update on the Assisted Living Yes I want simple, easy to remember passwords, but they can very easily be hacked. Also earlier this year my computer was hacked with a virus or malware or whatever that required professional help to delete and reinstall all of my MicrosoŌ XP operaƟng systems—a mulƟday, expensive event I don’t want to repeat. What to do: (1) Setup new strong passwords, especially on your banking and broker accounts, or use password vault soŌware like My Last Pass Vault; (2) Keep your computer backed up with an independent drive or in a secure cloud, (3) Treat all of your soŌware and anƟ-virus soŌware updates very seriously and (4) Never, ever open an aƩachment unless you know exactly who sent it to you because many phony aƩachments appear to be coming from a bank or broker when they are actually being sent by hackers. Now I have heard about a new, more serious threat called ransom ware. Here the user will get a popup on their computer saying “We are Crypto Wall 2.0 and we have encrypted all the data on your computer making it totally frozen and unusable by you. To get the decrypƟon key, send us $500 this week or next week it will be $1,000”. To compound the ransom request, the ransom has to be paid in Bit coins, but luckily the hackers provide detailed, easy to use instrucƟons on procuring Bit coins as well as the locaƟon of local Bit coin ATM’s. I don’t like to pay ransoms, but I understand it’s the only way out. Cripto Wall, based in Russia, has revenues in excess of $100 million per year on this scam. Good luck with this complex issue; I’m surely going to need a lot of luck to slog through all of these problems during the coming year.

As we cogitate, are we satisfied, as we wait for the game to end? Are we sharing our good fortune with others? As the New Year unfolds we might give it a thought, and act accordingly. Tax deductible gestures, payable to "AVT Healthcare Scholarship Fund", may be placed in in-house mail boxes J-2 or BV-43 as a way of sharing with others.
