This is a redo of my Friday podcast as there was a recording error.  This one should work and it includes a story from my new book: Get Cyber Smart: A user-friendly guide to protecting your family, your business, and yourself online.  Available here!  This leads to a quick Op-Ed on the importance of being more cyber aware!

Give a listen, tell a friend.

In this Friday's Op-Ed I focus on the importance of staying on top of cyber information and to prove the case, describe an incident where a scammer even tricked me.

Give a listen, tell a friend.
