WEBMGRS Digest for Friday, June 03, 2011. 1. Re: Web Managers at Convention
---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Re: Web Managers at Convention From: Janet Watkins <jdenisewatk...@aol.com> Date: Thu, 02 Jun 2011 17:24:13 -0400 X-Message-Number: 1 With the recent Gmail hacking by persons located in China, I would like to suggest some discussion around how to reassure our members about the security of using the internet. Each passing day there is news about another insidious intrusion which frankly is beginning to make me wary of being online. It is hard to convince people to use social media when they are afraid of falling victim to these diabolical predators. Sigh...
