Great wrap-up of the month's news and updates! Learning about the upcoming webinar is really handy. Thanks for including that.

My cybersecurity tip for family and friends is very simple: use different passwords for every online account. Don't fall into the habit of using one or two "easy to remember" passwords. Oh, also don't keep the password on a sticky note stuck to your monitor.
