The dangers of free WI-FI

 

Do you try to save data usage by logging into free Wi-Fi?  Your frugality can cost you your own identity.  Criminals use free Wi-Fi traffic to collect usernames and passwords.  It is a fairly cheap crime to commit, as a hotspot system can be purchased for less than $250. The hotspot is given a credible name, such as the name of a nearby mall, and the hackers just sit back and collect the data.   

 

Recent research has found that many people unhesitatingly connect to free Wi-Fi, even when they do not know where it is coming from.  This can happen automatically, without the owner of the device even knowing that it occurs.  And, when the research was done requiring connectors to sign a terms and conditions page, it was found that people did not read them.  In one study, the terms and conditions stated that the user would have to give up their firstborn child or favorite pet to connect, and people quickly agreed!

 

Not only do you need to protect your banking information, but you will want to keep your email and social media accounts, such as Facebook, secure. These can easily give away your schedule so criminals will know when your house is empty, or what school your children attend. 

 

How to protect yourself:

  • Treat all open Wi-Fi as unencrypted. When you connect to an open Wi-Fi network like one at a coffee shop or airport, the network is generally unencrypted; you can tell because you don't have to enter a passphrase when connecting. Your unencrypted network traffic is then clearly visible to everyone in range.
  • Avoid doing any banking or other financial matters on free Wi-Fi.
  • Treat paid internet, such as the one you pay for at a hotel, the same as free Wi-Fi. It can easily become infected.
  • Use a two-factor authentication on every website that requires a second password.
  • Use strong random passwords.
  • Use the longest password permitted.
  • Make your passwords random to avoid a "dictionary attack".
  • Set your Smart-phone to "Do not allow automatic connection to free Wi-Fi.

CLIENT/PATIENT APPOINTMENT REMINDERS

  

Maximize your schedule with appointment reminders!

 

Contacting all of your patients to remind them of an upcoming appointment (or the need to make one) is as quick and easy as either faxing or emailing your Patient Day Sheet (generated electronically by your E.M.R. system or printed from your computer.) There are no log-ins; no user IDs; no passwords to remember! THAT SIMPLE!


Benefits of Client/Patient Reminders:

  • Reduce client/patient no-show rate by as much as 1/3 and increase timely cancellations.
  • Send customized messages based on appointment type.
  • Increase revenue.
  • Keep on schedule with improved arrival time.
  • Re-capture lost staff and physician time by automating client communication.
  • Better managed patient health.
  • Elimination of expensive paper-based mailing campaigns.
  • Secure and compliant patient messaging.
  • Email, voice and text notifications available. 
  • Daily call result report, sent directly to your office.

Depending on the size of your client base, the minimal effort of simply forwarding your Patient Day Sheet and extremely small weekly cost could decrease patient no-shows by 30%; equating to a possible 30% increase in revenue when those empty slots are filled with viable appointments.....all without interrupting your busy staff's priority tasks. There are NO set-up fees.
