Your Neighbor’s HIPAA Breach Could Be Your Problem

Sharing a medical suite saves money — but it can also expose you to #HIPAA #liability if a neighboring provider has a breach.

🚨 Feds warn of rising Iranian cyberattacks on #healthcare —ransomware, MFA push-bombing, DDoS.

Only 6% of orgs are #HIPAA compliant. On top of that, compliance isn’t security.

A new test comparing top #AI #chatbots makes one thing clear: they're not all created equal. Some shine in literature, others fall flat on contracts. And accuracy? Still a work in progress. If you’re using AI in your work, this is your reminder to double-check everything.

Someone used my real LinkedIn rec in a cold email — without permission.

No LinkedIn profile. No legit domain. No connection to the company in the footer.

Could be a scam. Could be a “pig butchering” setup. Either way: bad form.

Small businesses don’t make the news when they’re hacked. That’s exactly why they’re targeted.

Donald Trump is going back and forth on tariffs, making the markets volatile and using our economy to wage his own egotistical trade war.

Republicans don't care about you, they're playing games with the money you earned so they can give handouts to billionaires and corporations.
