November | December 2014 17 Extraordinary Service for Extraordinary Members. Log out when finished. Securely purchasing your gifts is only the beginning. Do you know how much damage hack- ers could do if you didn’t log out of your Amazon account and then misplaced your phone? As Amazon currently sells more than 200 million products, let’s just say, a lot. And whether you are at work or shopping from home in your jammies on Cyber Monday: Be mindful. It’s one thing to be aware of a threat. It’s another thing to be mindful of it. Awareness involves the ability to recognize an issue, whereas mindfulness is all about anticipating the issue and being prepared with a response. Hackers often have the advantage of surprise, but if you stay “in the know” (by staying in touch with the cyber-community, by installing antivirus updates in a timely and secure manner, and by thinking before you act) then your chances of staying safe just got a whole lot better. May you have happy, secure, hacker-free holidays!  AlyssaMiddleton is a Security+ certified tandem software support specialist for CoNetrix.
