Issue 9.19 of The Weekly Update March 25, 2019 Infrastructure Maintenance (IM) City Working with FPL on Sea Turtle Friendly Street Lighting Staff is working closely with Florida Power & Light (FPL) on issues related to the LED light project and Sea Turtle Season lighting rules. As the lights were changed from HPS (high pressure sodium) to energy efficient LED lighting, FPL failed to install 'sea turtle friendly' shields during the transition. A total number of 53 street lights located on beach ends, along Ridegwood Avenue and within view of the beach were shut off two weeks ago. Staff was informed by FPL last week that many of the shields had been installed, but it was discovered by Staff that the shields were installed incorrectly and actually directed more light east/onto the beach. According to Brevard County and the Fish and Wildlife Conservation (FWC), sea turtle season runs from March 1st to October 31st and lights are to be turned off, adjusted or shielded during this time. Numerous attempts to have FPL shield these lights correctly have been made over the last month, and according to FPL the lights will be turned back on-with the proper shields -within 3 to 4 weeks. There are seven street lights required by FWC to be shut-off for the duration of Sea Turtle Season, they are located at: • 8498 Ridgewood Avenue • 515 Fillmore Avenue • Madison Avenue (1 LT E/O Aurora Ct N/S) • Johnson Avenue (2 LT E/O Ridgewood Ave S/S) • 8497 Ridgewood Avenue • 555 Fillmore Avenue • 7916 Aurora Court Community Engagement Looking to get more involved with the City?

How to Avoid March Madness Phishing Scams The NCAA basketball tournament is expected to bring a surge in phishing emails looking to steal your personal information and money. Before you rush to enter an old friend's March Madness pool this week, you may want to think twice. There's nothing wrong with a little camaraderie. It's just that the invite message might actually be coming from a cybercriminal looking to steal your personal information or money. Cybersecurity researchers say the annual NCAA basketball tournament brings with it a slew of phishing emails from scammers looking to capitalize on the public's eagerness to join in on the fun. Like other big seasonal events, March Madness has a way of capturing widespread attention, which means emails that mention it have a better chance of drawing clicks from unsuspecting victims. The yearly rush to get brackets filled out before the first game tips off adds a sense of urgency, says Sam McLane, head of security operations for Arctic Wolf Networks. That combination makes March Madness a slam dunk for cybercriminals. "With emails regarding taxes and banking, you know what to expect; you know who your provider is," explains McLane. So you're less likely to bite. "With March Madness, you could be getting an email from an old college buddy who uses Bob's House of Brackets and it wouldn't seem strange," he adds. How the Scams Work Share the knowledge - Tell at least one friend to read The Weekly Update! Issue 9.19 of The Weekly Update March 25, 2019 "A March Madness-related phishing attack could take several forms", McLane says. One form taken may be an email asking you to click on a link to a tournament-themed website. But instead of a well- known news or bracket site such as ESPN or CBS, the link might take you to something that looks like a team fan site. You then might be asked to confirm your identity by logging in to Gmail, Facebook or another social media site. And that's how the thief gets access to your information. Many people, even those who wouldn't normally fall prey to phishing emails, may not stop and think before clicking and entering that information. "There's a sense of trust," McLane says. "You're dealing with your friends and your co-workers and you're excited about the prospect of winning. There's no perception that there could be a security risk." The attack may also come in the form of an email from a fellow pool participant who's been hacked. The message might ask everyone in the group to send their pool payments to a new account. But instead of going to the pool's organizer, your money goes to the hackers. McLane says people can quickly put the brakes on this kind of scam just by taking the time to contact the person in charge of the pool—maybe by text or through social media—to confirm the change in plans. "While online NCAA pools have been around for many years, March Madness-related phishing has only recently become a problem, mainly thanks to the rise of social media", McLane says. That's made it much easier for criminals to write and send custom scam emails; a practice known as spear phishing. It wasn't that long ago that cybercriminals had to craft these emails one by one, doing painstaking research to find the personal details needed to make the emails look real. But now social media platforms provide them with plenty of personal data on potential victims, and software automates the composition process, sending out millions of highly customized emails and boosting their chances of a payoff. Other March Madness Threats Phishing isn't the only easy three-pointer for cybercriminals right now. Kaspersky, a Russian cybersecurity company that makes antivirus products for consumers (and has had its own issues with hacking), says people need to be on the lookout for other NCAA tournament-related threats, too. • Online Ticket Scams. Fake websites will be looking to steal payment information from fans in search of last-minute seats. Consumers should buy directly from the venue whenever possible and never shop on a site that doesn't start with "https." • Streaming Scams. Beware of shady sites offering to stream the games for free. If you install the "player" provided by the site, you could end up with nasty malware on your computer. Stick with streaming sites you know and trust. • Mobile App Scams. The same logic applies here. Malicious app creators love to use big events like this to spread their harmful software. Download apps only from trusted sources and avoid third-party app stores entirely. • Payment Scams.Need to send money to someone in your pool? As McLane says, "make sure it's really going to the right person first". Don't do it over public WiFi and make certain your computer or mobile device has up-to-date security. Whenever possible, use a VPN or safe browser. Share the knowledge - Tell at least one friend to read The Weekly Update! Issue 9.19 of The Weekly Update March 25, 2019 How to Avoid Getting Scammed Here are some more tips from digital security experts: • Think before you click. If something doesn't seem right about an email, just delete it—ideally before you open it. You're better off not taking the risk. • Examine the link. Before you click on a link, try hovering your mouse over it. This will reveal the full address, which can expose signs of fraud. A".ru" on the end, for example, means the site was created in Russia; ".br"means Brazil. Misspellings are another good tipoff to a fake website. For example, if the URL says marchmadnness.com, it's best to avoid it. And if you get an email advertising a great deal on game day gear at a major retailer, open a window in your browser, search for the retailer's web address, and compare it with the one in your email. Don't assume that a website is legitimate just because its URL starts with"https." Criminals like to use encryption, too. • Don't open attachments. Attachments may contain malware. You should never type confidential information into a form attached to an email. The sender can potentially track the info you enter. • Guard your financial information. Be wary of emails asking for account numbers, credit card numbers, wire transfers and failed transactions. There is no reason to share such info via message or an unsecure site. • Turn on auto updates. This goes for your computer, smartphone and tablets. Up-to-date security software goes a long way toward stopping malware. • Use security tools. Install an antivirus program on your device and keep it up to date. You can also use a website reputation rating tool, which comes in the form of a browser plugin, to warn you if you try to go to potentially dangerous websites. Cybersecurity companies such as McAfee, Kaspersky and Norton offer them. But keep in mind that these tools aren't foolproof. Fowler, Bree. "How to Avoid March Madness Phishing Scams."
