My Email Has Been Hacked … Now What Do I Do?

By Larry Darnell, FDA Director of Information Systems

First, do not freak out — email hacks are quite common. Determine if it is just your email that has been hacked and not your computer. If the computer you work on the most is not showing any signs of trouble (pop-ups, browser redirects, etc.), then it is likely that only your email account has been hacked.

Log in to your email and change your password immediately and try to update to a two-step (or two-factor) authentication password method. This will keep individuals from seizing your account so easily in the future. I also would recommend that you change any other passwords that are based on your email password. Most people use a variation of one password for life; thus, the name life password. After you have done that, email, text or call your contacts and let them know your email has been hacked and not to open anything from you.

 

Help Protect Your Retirement Security

By FDA Services

Long-term care is the inability to care for one’s self due to an illness, injury or disability. This care provides assistance with daily living activities and is provided in a variety of settings, including in-home care. The need for long-term care can last for a few months to many years.

Long-term care for an individual can cost from $60,000 to more than $100,000 per year. These costs can severely disrupt the financial security of affected families. Private health insurance and Medicare are not intended to pay for long-term care. Long-term care insurance is becoming a popular way to protect against financial hardship when the need arises.

Make sure you have a plan for you and your family. Call FDA Services at 800.877.7597 to learn about long-term care insurance or go to http://www.completelongtermcare.com/assoc/fda.aspx.
