roverbs 11: 24-25 “One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want. Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.” It’s that time of year again when we experience the Christmas season. For many, this is a very joyful time; for others, it may not be a merry time of year. I want to challenge everyone that this year doesn’t become a rush to go to the next event or function, to receive the best gift, or to see who can win with the most things. Rather, let’s think about the gift of giving. That gift may be of your time,
whether volunteering with a non- profit, or just sitting down with a neighbor to have a cup of coffee and enjoy each other’s company. A verse that keeps me in check is Matthew 6:1-2: “Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. “Thus, when CHAPLAIN'S you give to the CORNER needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be NAS Key West praised by othCommand Chaplain ers. Truly, I say Lt. Cmdr. to you, they have Scott Mason received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what
your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.” So, this Christmas season try to make an effort to give rather than receive. Please come and join us for worship services on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. This Sunday we will be at the Community Center on Sigsbee Annex with our Praise Band and Children’s Church. Please visit our Facebook page (NAS Key West Chapel) for upcoming events. If you are in need of chaplain care, please call your chaplains at 305-293-2318, Naval Air Station Key West, or 305-292-8788, Coast Guard Sector Key West.

liferating number of networked devices that most of us already have in our homes. Late model TVs, printers, refrigerators, ovens, dish washers, microwaves and even toasters may be smart devices. They wirelessly plug into your home network and collect behavioral information by passively “listening” and, in some cases, “watching” your behaviors. Should we be concerned about this? Yes. Never share any information you don’t have to. Read the small print to find out how to disable the “passive information gathering” features. Personal digital assistants are designed to make your life easier. To do that, they also passively “collect” your personal information for marketing purposes by listening to your conversations. Hackers can use these features to turn personal digital assistants into a wiretap. When you’re not using these devices, shut them off and take the extra step of unplugging them to ensure they’re disconnected. Online games are notorious hacker attack vectors. They gather information and expose unsuspecting victims to viruses and attacks. Social media also presents vulnerabilities. Set your privacy settings to “friends only” and then only share personal identifiable information with known contacts you have confirmed are actually your friends. Never accept connections from anyone you don’t know, especially someone who created a profile
•Dec. 1, 2017 featuring only one picture. Two-factor authentication requires you to provide a second method of identification verification information, along with your password, in order to gain access. Some methods include a code sent via text message to your phone, a finger print or retina scan, or even a fob. These steps add a few seconds to gaining access, but are well worth the inconvenience. Whenever possible, if your application or web service gives you the option, take advantage of the opportunity to increase the security of your connection through a second factor. Cookies are small bits of code installed on your computer when you visit a website. Even after you close your browser, cookies continue to track your movements on the internet. They are advertised as a convenience by speeding the process of reloading websites you’ve previously visited. This convenience isn’t worth the vulnerability. In your browser’s privacy settings, you can block cookies; however, this might prevent you from accessing some websites you want to visit. Instead, another method of protecting yourself is to temporarily allow cookies, but also set your browser to delete cookies at the end of each browsing session. Wi-Fi is vulnerable to attack. Always password protect your Wi-Fi. Ensure your router’s firmware is up to date. Use Virtual Private Networks, which create a secure tunnel and encrypt your data, especially when using free Wi-Fi in public places like airports and coffee shops. Whenever pos-
sible only visit websites that use the secure browser extension “https” where you will see a lock icon. GPS helps us find our way around, but it also allows your movements to be tracked. Disable it when not in use. On some phones, the quick toggle doesn’t shut down your GPS and it continues to run in the background. To be sure, go into settings to disable it. Bluetooth is another great digital enhancer that allows us to stream audio and even print at close range, but it is vulnerable to hackers who might want to capture your personal identifiable information, passwords and accounts. Turn it off when not in use. Be wary of Phishing attempts through email or cell phone texts. Thieves may use a ruse to get your information, e.g., you receive a receipt for a purchase you didn’t make - say from iTunes - so you click on the link provided to report the issue. That link however, is fake and specifically designed to steal your log-in and password. Another ruse is to ask for passwords/pins/social security/date of birth to verify your identity. Those are never requested in an email or text by legitimate busi-
nesses. If you get an alert about a problem with your account from any company you conduct business with, contact the company via their normal phone number or company web address, instead of clicking on a link in an email or cell phone text. Beware of bogus websites.Look for “https” in the website address - the “s” reflects a secure web page. Enter the correct company website address in your web browser instead of clicking on an external link. If you believe you are a victim of a holiday phish-
ing scam or malware campaign, consider the following actions: Contact your financial institution immediately and close any accounts that may have been compromised. Watch for any unexplainable charges to your account. Immediately change any passwords you might have revealed and do not use that password in the future. Avoid reusing passwords on multiple sites. See Choosing and Protecting Passwords, https://www.us-cert.gov/ ncas/tips/ST04-002, for more information.
File a complaint with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), http://www.ic3.gov/ default.aspx. Report the attack to the police and file a report with the Federal Trade Commission, https://www. ftccomplaintassistant. gov/. There is no guarantee that these suggestions will protect you from a virus or an attack, but they will go a long way in decreasing your vulnerability in your everyday life, especially during the holidays and hurricane recovery.
