Materials and Musings for my JCC Classes

This is a test post to facilitate adding media to the transient media to the website.
This may or may not work… so bare with me. I am trying to get around some of the rather draconian (and in my opinion unneeded) restriction.
Just as a informational post I thought I would write about this. I am not a big text message user, usually only the occasional grocery list to or from my wife, but apparently this has become the new battleground for scam artists. I woke up this morning to an SMS on my phone “from” my credit union saying that my account was locked. All I had to do was call the toll-free number and verify account details. It was a pretty obvious phishing attack (called smishing if it comes through text messages I learned), but I sent a notification to my credit union so they could alert others. Always be leery of unsolicited texts or emails out there, I would hate for any of you to get your identities stolen through some clever scheme. Having had my ID stolen a few years ago (through a skimmer at a restaurant), I can tell you it is not a pleasant experience to get over.
