People who open these emails and click on these links are at risk of having their computers and data destroyed or severely compromised. We need to consider this every time we set a new password. We are not just putting ourselves at risk. We are putting all our associates at risk.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nPlease take a minute today and change any weak passwords you may have to a strong passphrase. Change any passwords that are over a year old and change a password immediately after you suspect, or are notified, of a breach (break-in where passwords may have been compromised).<\/p>\n
