Linked: Click2Gov Portal Compromised in Eight Cities

This is just straight up good advice, no matter where you live and whether you use this service:

“Security experts are recommending that individuals who have paid any bills through Click2Gov check their payment card statements closely to detect any fraudulent transactions.”

Sure, if it’s likely your data may have been part of this compromise, by all means, keep an eye on those payments cards, but even if you weren’t, pay attention as well.

Because your data was compromised somewhere, at some point. There’s almost no getting away from that fact.

Personally, I check my credit cards and bank accounts online every few days, at least, and make sure there aren’t transactions on there that are fraudulent. It’s the only way.

    The first sentence is a mic-drop truth: Data is an asset and a liability. It fits into both accounting columns and will not fail to be used against a corporate entity if not secured properly.

    Linked: Women in the Workplace

    This is an acute problem for many of us, who want to participate in doing the work of promoting diversity and inclusion but are still getting measured by everything other than that. And, as the survey points out, it is oftentimes women who take on this work, in an effort to help other women and minorities achieve.

    But, as much as the C-Level folks talk about the importance of this work, it is not a part of the job performance, nor is time and effort really allocated for it.

    How many of you volunteer to take on this work, running an employee resource group, putting together presentations, leading group discussions, often at the behest of top management, and then when it comes times for performance reviews, the only thing that matters is time spent on bringing in revenue?

    The message seems to really be, “It’s great that you want to do this work for us, but make sure you do it on your time because your productivity will be measured against the people who don’t spend any time at all doing this work”
