This Fall Refresh Your Cybersecurity Habits
As the leaves begin to change and we settle into the routines of fall, it's a good time to take stock of a few things around the house - preparing for cooler weather, checking our heating systems and getting ready for the months ahead. It's a good time to refresh our cybersecurity habits.
Here are a few suggestions of how to keep your computers, phones, email, and online accounts safe.
Energy Tip of the Month - Phantom Energy
Don't let phantom energy haunt your electric bill this October. TVs, gaming systems, coffee makers and phone chargers continue using electricity even when they're turned off.
While each device uses only a small amount, the energy waste can add up over time.
Before heading out for Halloween, unplug devices you don't use regularly or plug them into a smart power strip that automatically cuts power when equipment is off to keep phantom energy waste in check.
